UNSPSC 70161704: Ecosystems protection services

UNSPSC 70161704 Ecosystems protection services is a Commodity code covering environmental management, restoration, and stewardship work that state and local governments procure to maintain or restore natural habitats, control invasive species, and mitigate ecological damage. Recent state and local solicitations show a mix of operational pest and invasive-species management, stream and wetland restoration design and construction, and strategic planning and feasibility analysis for long-term environmental sustainability. The City of Arlington, Texas is seeking an annual requirements contract for mosquito control services—surveillance, larviciding, and adulticide application—with proposals due October 22, 2026 under RFP. Atlanta Beltline, Inc. is soliciting bids for construction and implementation on the Proctor Creek Stream Restoration Project, encompassing approximately 900 linear feet of creek restoration and riparian revegetation, with bids due November 17, 2026 under IFB. Dorchester County, South Carolina is requesting bids for obstruction clearing on the Ashley River Scenic Blue Trail under federally funded IFB provisions, with bids due October 21, 2026. Issuing bodies span municipalities, counties, special-purpose districts, state resource agencies, and regional authorities; activity is not concentrated in a single jurisdiction type. The City of Mableton, Georgia; the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife; the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians; the Brazos River Authority; and the Washington Department of Natural Resources represent the breadth of public and quasi-public entities contracting under this code.

Geographic spread includes Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, Oregon, Nevada, Florida, Colorado, Connecticut, and Washington. The code shows activity across municipal, county, state, tribal, and regional authority boundaries with no single state or region dominating recent opportunities. Representative recent work spans tactical pest management (mosquito control in Arlington), stream and riparian habitat restoration (Proctor Creek in Atlanta, Ashley River obstruction clearing in Dorchester County), coastal wetland engineering and design (Gallagher Slough tide gate removal in Oregon), forest carbon project feasibility and development (Washington DNR, Oregon tribes, Nevada nonpoint-source implementation), freshwater mussel surveying and relocation (Brazos River Authority), and comprehensive sustainability and greenspace master planning (Mableton). Notice types include RFP, RFQ, IFB, ITB, and RFI. Contracting vehicles include direct procurement, cooperative purchasing, and reimbursable grant-funded agreements. The code reflects diverse ecological contexts—urban pest management, riverine and estuarine restoration, forest and grassland stewardship, and strategic environmental planning—and attracts a varied vendor base spanning environmental consultants, engineering firms, specialized service contractors, and land management enterprises.
