UNSPSC 70151508: Forestry extension services

UNSPSC 70151508 Forestry extension services is a Commodity code that encompasses professional tree assessment, invasive species management, fuel reduction treatments, and specialized forestry consulting services that state and local governments procure to support urban canopy management, natural area restoration, wildfire mitigation, and ecosystem health initiatives. Recent solicitations show municipalities and counties buying LiDAR-based tree canopy assessments with geodatabase development, invasive plant control across hundreds of acres with performance guarantees, pre-commercial thinning and mastication for forest health, and specialized carbon project development consulting for tribal forestlands—work that extends well beyond traditional forestry and into data-driven land management and environmental compliance.

Issuing bodies span cities, counties, state parks, state departments, tribal governments, and specialized authorities. The City of Pooler, Georgia issued an RFP in October 2026 for citywide tree canopy coverage assessment with ISA and TCIA certification requirements and LiDAR-based analysis; the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management conducted a prequalification and IFB process for invasive plant control, forestry services, and land management across 200–400 acres with 90 percent reduction targets and native species restoration requirements; Custer State Park (South Dakota) solicited proposals for 239 acres of fuel reduction, pre-commercial thinning, and mastication work; and the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians requested consulting services for Improved Forest Management carbon project development on 14,742 acres of tribal forestlands. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida), Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington), and intermountain West (Utah, South Dakota, Michigan), with scattered solicitations in Texas and other regions. Opportunities reflect a mix of urban forestry applications (tree inventory, canopy assessment), natural area management (invasive species, fuel reduction, habitat restoration), and emerging services tied to forest carbon markets and tribal land stewardship. The code is active across state and local jurisdictions with steady recent posting frequency and substantive contract scopes, suggesting meaningful procurement volume in forestry consulting and management services.
