UNSPSC 70161500: Fauna

UNSPSC 70161500 Fauna is a Class code that encompasses wildlife monitoring, detection, and control services state and local governments procure to manage animal populations, locate wildlife remains, and address nuisance species on public properties. Recent solicitations show a diverse mix of work: canine forensics surveys for locating historic human remains; juvenile fish monitoring at hydroelectric facilities; specialized avian census counts at military training centers; nuisance wildlife removal and exclusion on school properties; and fish nursery operations. These services are distinct from the abstract code name and reflect operational, environmental compliance, and public safety needs across jurisdictions.

The issuing-body mix spans state agencies, county governments, municipalities, school districts, and special-purpose authorities. The State of California is soliciting canine forensics services; Northern Wasco County People's Utility District in Washington is requesting juvenile fish monitoring proposals due October 29, 2026; the Texas Military Department posted two related bird survey solicitations due September 22, 2026 across four training centers; the School Board of Sarasota County, Florida closed an ITB for nuisance wildlife control with a response date of August 14, 2026; and Montgomery County, Pennsylvania is seeking a nursery operator sub-lessee with responses due June 4, 2026. Geographic activity spans California, Washington, Texas, Florida, and Pennsylvania, with no standout regional concentration in the recent opportunity set. The code shows active procurement across the public sector but at relatively low transaction frequency — a single representative opportunity per jurisdiction type rather than repeated buys from major repeat buyers.
