UNSPSC 70151510: Forest sectoral planning

UNSPSC 70151510 Forest sectoral planning is a Commodity code capturing state and local procurement of consulting services for forest and natural resource assessment, planning, and implementation work. State and local governments buy under this code when they need qualified consultants to conduct tree canopy analyses, forest inventory surveys, forest carbon credit project development, silvicultural thinning and treatment design, riparian restoration planning, and integrated natural-area management strategies. The issuing bodies span city parks and recreation departments, county environmental and natural resource divisions, state forestry agencies, and special-purpose districts managing public lands and municipal properties. Recent opportunities show city governments predominating in tree canopy and urban forestry work, while county governments and state agencies drive forest management and carbon credit initiatives.

Representative recent solicitations include the City of Pooler, Georgia's RFP for a city-wide tree canopy coverage assessment and geodatabase development, with proposals due November 6, 2026, requiring LiDAR-based analysis and GIS-mappable results; the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management's multi-step sealed bid process for invasive plant control, forestry services, and land management under its Annual Natural Area Management Program, with prequalification due November 6, 2026; and the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians' RFP for forest carbon credit project development on approximately 14,742 acres of tribal forestlands, with proposals due July 22, 2026.
