UNSPSC 70151605: Edible forestry production

UNSPSC 70151605 Edible forestry production is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement for timber harvesting, pre-commercial forest thinning, and forestland management services. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying timber sales and removal contracts, competitive thinning and slash treatment on public and federal lands under Good Neighbor Authority agreements, timber management consulting on county-owned forestland, and deforestation and pasture management services. Issuing bodies include state departments of natural resources and agriculture, county governments managing solid waste facilities with timber holdings, and state prison agencies. The work ranges from small-scale meadow enhancement (124 acres of hand-tool thinning) to large timber sales (134 gross acres of ponderosa pine sawtimber across multiple units) to multi-year consulting engagements managing reforestation and timber sales on regulated facility properties.

Recent activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and Northern Plains.
