UNSPSC 70151901: Forest resources development

UNSPSC 70151901 Forest resources development is a Commodity code that encompasses urban and regional tree planting, maintenance, restoration, and community forestry programming, along with forest carbon offset assessment and biomass utilization planning. Recent state and local solicitations frame the code's scope around active tree canopy expansion, volunteer-led invasive species removal, environmental education, and carbon sequestration feasibility studies rather than timber harvesting or commercial forestry operations. Issuing bodies include city parks and recreation departments, county government engineering offices, and state natural resource agencies. The City of Atlanta Department of Parks and Recreation appears as a repeat buyer, conducting sequential pre-qualification and invitation-for-bid solicitations for community-based forestry contracts that span multiple years and encompass tree planting, pruning, volunteer coordination, and public outreach.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, Colorado, and Washington. The City of Atlanta issued a pre-advertisement notice in April 2026 (SOQ/GS/DPR/2605-1260218, due May 21) followed by a Statement of Qualifications in June 2026 (SOQ/GS/DPR/2605-1260218, due June 17) for community-based forestry services requiring six years' experience, an ISA Certified Arborist or Landscape Architect on staff, and Georgia Commercial Pesticide Applicator licensure, with scope including planting 6,000 trees over two seasons and delivering community education and workforce development programming citywide. Hillsborough County, Florida issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB-26-00125, due February 27, 2026) for tree replanting across scenic roads with an estimated value of $935,275.00.

The Washington Department of Natural Resources issued an RFQQ (DNRRFQQ2615, due May 26, 2026) for forest carbon offset project feasibility analysis across five counties. Boulder County, Colorado issued an RFI (RFI25326, due March 13, 2026) to identify vendor capacity for carbon removal through utilization of liability woody biomass from forest restoration, with approximately 301,026 tons of annual feedstock available.
