UNSPSC 70161703: Terrestrial ecosystem management services

UNSPSC 70161703 Terrestrial ecosystem management services is a Commodity code under which state and local governments purchase invasive species removal, riparian restoration, wetland management, mosquito control, fuel break maintenance, and related field services to restore or protect natural ecosystems on public lands. Recent solicitations span mosquito surveillance and targeted treatment, stream restoration including erosion control and riparian revegetation, waterway debris removal, cheatgrass control in shrub-steppe ecosystems, and freshwater mussel survey and species relocation work. The issuing bodies include city governments (Arlington, Texas; Mableton, Georgia; Union City, Georgia), county park and open space agencies (Boulder County, Colorado; Dorchester County, South Carolina; Hillsborough County, Florida), regional authorities (Atlanta Beltline, Inc.; Brazos River Authority), state environmental departments (Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife; Washington Department of Natural Resources; Nevada Division of Environmental Protection), fire protection districts (Los Altos Hills County Fire District, California), tribal governments (Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians, Oregon), and special-purpose districts. Most activity involves design-phase or feasibility work paired with construction and implementation services, and several solicitations require compliance with EPA, CDC, state health department, or Army Corps of Engineers standards.

Recent activity clusters in the Pacific Northwest, California, Southwest, and Southeast. Representative opportunities include the City of Arlington's RFP for annual mosquito control services with proposals due October 22, 2026; Atlanta Beltline, Inc.'s competitive sealed bid for the Proctor Creek Stream Restoration Project (900 linear feet of creek restoration with invasive species removal, erosion control, and green infrastructure installation) with bids due November 17, 2026; Dorchester County's IFB for Ashley River Scenic Blue Trail obstruction clearing (waterway debris removal, 1,000–5,000 cubic yards, requiring barge equipment) with bids due October 21, 2026; the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's RFP for engineering design services supporting tide gate removal and coastal wetland restoration with proposals due September 17, 2026; the Brazos River Authority's RFP for freshwater mussel survey and aquatic species relocation services across stream and reservoir systems with proposals due July 16, 2026; and the Los Altos Hills County Fire District's RFP for vegetation management and shaded fuel break connectivity services (three phases, mandatory pre-proposal meeting May 13, 2026, proposals due June 2, 2026). Solicitations reflect strong recent demand for compliance-focused field work, professional engineering and planning services, and restoration implementation.
