UNSPSC 70151900: Forestry resources

UNSPSC 70151900 Forestry resources is a Class code encompassing land management services including site preparation, prescribed burning, mulching, reforestation, and habitat restoration work that state and local governments procure to maintain conservation lands, wildlife management areas, and public forests. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include state fish and wildlife commissions, water management districts, city parks departments, and state natural resource agencies. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple ITBs for prescribed burning, site prep, sand pine removal, and mulching across several wildlife management areas; the Suwannee River Water Management District and Washington Department of Natural Resources have also posted recent opportunities in this space. Recent work spans habitat restoration (clearing understory brush, thinning live timber, mastication, and piling), prescribed burning on conservation lands, site preparation for forest regeneration, seedling procurement and planting, and feasibility analysis of carbon offset projects on state-managed forest.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and the Pacific Northwest.
