UNSPSC 70151905: Arid rainfed plantation resources

UNSPSC 70151905 Arid rainfed plantation resources (Commodity) covers urban and community forestry services, tree planting and establishment, forest carbon assessment, watershed planning that incorporates forest management, and biomass utilization from forest restoration—work state and local governments procure to expand urban tree canopy, support forest health, assess climate mitigation potential, and manage liability biomass from restoration and wildfire mitigation projects. Recent solicitations show city and county governments issuing RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs for community-based forestry spanning tree planting with volunteer engagement and education, invasive plant control, tree maintenance and pruning, and carbon offset feasibility analysis on state forest lands. Issuing bodies include city departments of parks and recreation, county engineering and operations departments, state natural resources agencies, and special-purpose planning bodies; the City of Atlanta Department of Parks and Recreation appears twice in the recent block, indicating active repeat procurement in that jurisdiction.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and Mountain West, with recent opportunities posted by the City of Atlanta (Georgia), Hillsborough County (Florida), the City of St. Cloud (Florida), Boulder County (Colorado), and the Washington Department of Natural Resources. Representative solicitations include the City of Atlanta Department of Parks and Recreation's community-based forestry RFQ/IFB (SOQ posted June 2, 2026, IFB following June 24, 2026) seeking contractor qualifications for planting 6,000 trees, pruning 5,000 young trees, coordinating volunteer invasive plant removal, and delivering education programming; Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00125 for tree replanting on scenic roads (due February 27, 2026, estimated value $935,275.00); Boulder County's Request for Information on carbon removal from liability biomass utilization (due March 13, 2026); and the Washington Department of Natural Resources RFQQ for forest carbon offset project feasibility analysis across five counties (due May 26, 2026). All recent opportunities require demonstrated expertise in forest management, environmental restoration, or carbon assessment and compliance with state licensing, insurance, and business registration requirements.
