UNSPSC 70150000: Forestry

UNSPSC 70150000 Forestry is a Family code under which state and local governments procure mechanical vegetation removal, tree services, forest inventory and assessment, and habitat restoration work across municipal, county, state, and special-district properties. Recent solicitations center on on-call tree trimming and removal for municipalities; mechanical mastication and stand thinning on state wildlife and forest lands; and specialized forestry labor for inventory, planting, and fuel reduction projects. State agencies, counties, and municipalities issue most opportunities; Massachusetts towns and Colorado state agencies appear repeatedly in recent postings. Activity spans Massachusetts, Utah, Colorado, Texas, Oregon, Florida, Connecticut, and Kansas, with concentration in the Northeast (especially Massachusetts) and West (Utah and Colorado).

Representative recent opportunities include the Town of Fairhaven, Massachusetts issuing an RFP for FY27 on-call tree services (tree trimming, removal, stump removal, arborist inspections, emergency response) due July 23, 2026; the State of Utah Division of Forestry issuing an IFB for mechanical mastication on 34 acres near Parowan with a July 23, 2026 bid deadline; the State of Colorado Division of Colorado Parks and Wildlife soliciting competitive bids for mechanical mastication and hand thinning on 266 acres of pinyon-juniper woodlands at Droney Gulch State Wildlife Area with mandatory pre-bid attendance on June 2, 2026 and bid due June 16, 2026; and Seminole County, Florida issuing an RFP for mechanical vegetation reduction and firebreak services across parks properties, with addendum revisions issued June 17, 2026. The code also captures tree planting procurement (Oregon Department of Forestry requesting conifer planting services on 423 acres), forest inventory data collection (Utah and Oregon soliciting Common Stand Exam plot establishment and measurement), and woody biomass processing (Boulder County Parks procuring mastication and grinding services for community sort yards). Equipment requirements are standard across mechanical projects—tracked mulching equipment rated 150 horsepower or higher, excavators, grinders, and chippers—and contractor qualifications typically mandate five or more years of relevant forestry experience, appropriate licensing, and proof of insurance with limits of $1 million to $3 million.
