UNSPSC 70151504: Forest administration services

UNSPSC 70151504 Forest administration services is a Commodity code describing work that state and local governments actually buy under pest control, vegetation management, mosquito control, and related ecological stewardship activities. Recent state and local solicitations under this code span insect and disease control, mechanical vegetation clearing, tree inventory and forestry consulting, noxious weed removal, and specialized aerial application services — a portfolio substantially broader than the code's nominal scope. Issuing bodies include county departments of public works and mosquito control, city general services divisions, state forestry and natural resources departments, municipalities, school districts (Valencia College), and special-purpose districts including cooperatives and tribal entities. Florida counties dominate the recent posting volume, with Hillsborough, Pinellas, Clay, Walton, and Collier counties all active; Georgia counties (Gwinnett, Collier), Washington State Department of Natural Resources, Oregon municipalities and tribes, Texas, and California round out the geographic mix.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the scope diversity. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners solicited aerial and ground mosquito control spraying services under ITB-26-00311 (due July 20, 2026) at an estimated three-year value of $2.756 million, requiring pilots with commercial pesticide applicator licenses and minimum truck and aircraft capacity. The City of Orlando issued IFB26-0331 for Integrated Pest Management Services across 135 municipal facilities (due May 8, 2026), emphasizing prevention and targeted chemical use only when necessary. The Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians solicited consulting services to design an Improved Forest Management carbon offset project on tribal forestlands (RFP due July 22, 2026), with Indian Preference and critical experience requirements in Washington Cap-and-Invest carbon registrations. The County of San Mateo Parks Department requested on-call professional consulting for vegetation management, forestry, and tree management across 16,000 acres (RFP 2026RFP00395, due March 30, 2026), requiring ISA Certified Arborists and C-61/D-49 tree service contractor licensure. The Town of Butte Falls, Oregon sought noxious weed removal services on 446 acres of community forestland (RFP due April 1, 2026) under a $15,000 not-to-exceed contract funded by an Oregon Department of Forestry grant. Activity is steady and geographically dispersed across Segment and Family tiers, suggesting consistent demand for specialized ecological services across regions with active natural resource stewardship, pest mitigation, and grounds management priorities.
