UNSPSC 70161706: Coastal ecology and conservation service

Contracted services relating to ecological management and conservation of coastal areas

UNSPSC 70161706 Coastal ecology and conservation service is a Commodity code encompassing mosquito control, waterway restoration, invasive species removal, wetland habitat work, endangered species monitoring, and ecological feasibility assessment — activities state and local governments solicit when addressing coastal and riparian degradation, vector management, stormwater compliance, and species recovery. Recent opportunities reflect a mix of operational pest management and infrastructure restoration: the City of Arlington, Texas is procuring annual mosquito surveillance and larvicide application under an RFP due October 22, 2026; Tampa Bay Water seeks as-needed ecological investigation and regulatory-compliance services on a task-order basis with proposals due November 13, 2026; and Atlanta Beltline, Inc. is bidding Proctor Creek stream restoration including invasive species removal and riparian revegetation under competitive sealed bid with bids due November 17, 2026. Issuing bodies span city procurement offices, regional water utilities, state park agencies, county conservation commissions, and special-purpose districts, with no single repeat buyer dominating the recent pipeline.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon and Washington), with one South Carolina opportunity and scattered work in Colorado and Connecticut. The code shows consistent demand from municipal and county environmental departments alongside state park systems and water resource authorities. Representative solicitations include Dorchester County, South Carolina's October 21, 2026 IFB for Ashley River Scenic Blue Trail debris clearing following tropical storm damage; the Oceano Dunes District of California State Parks' October 7, 2026 RFP for three-year endangered bird banding services (Western Snowy Plover and California Least Tern) with a 5% small business preference and DVBE incentive; the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's September 30, 2026 IFB for beach re-nourishment at Grayton Beach State Park requiring mandatory prequalification; and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's September 17, 2026 RFP for engineering services supporting tide gate removal and coastal wetland restoration. Most solicitations require specialized credentials—pesticide applicator licenses, USFWS threatened-and-endangered species permits, or coastal engineering expertise—and insurance minimums of $1–5 million across general liability, professional liability, and workers' compensation lines.
