UNSPSC 70161711: Mangrove swamp ecology and conservation service

Contracted services relating to ecological management and conservation of mangrove swamps

UNSPSC 70161711 Mangrove swamp ecology and conservation service is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses mosquito control, invasive species management, stream and wetland restoration, ecosystem assessment, and related environmental compliance support for state and local water utilities, county environmental agencies, municipalities, and special-purpose districts. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying mosquito surveillance and adulticide application services, coastal and freshwater wetland restoration including riparian revegetation and green infrastructure installation, aquatic species surveys and relocation support, and professional consulting on forest carbon projects and sustainability planning. Issuing bodies include city governments, county environmental and parks departments, special water authorities, tribal governments, and state environmental agencies. The scope diverges meaningfully from the code's nominal focus on mangrove-specific ecology; recent activity emphasizes temperate-zone stream restoration, non-mangrove wetland management, and broader ecological consulting rather than mangrove conservation per se.

Recent solicitations span Texas, Florida, Georgia, Oregon, Colorado, Washington, and South Carolina. Representative opportunities include the City of Arlington, Texas annual requirements contract for mosquito control services with proposals due October 22, 2026 (RFP); Tampa Bay Water's as-needed ecological services task-order RFP with proposals due November 13, 2026 in Hillsborough County, Florida; Atlanta Beltline, Inc.'s construction and implementation services for Proctor Creek Stream Restoration with competitive sealed bids due November 17, 2026; Dorchester County, South Carolina's Ashley River obstruction clearing IFB due October 21, 2026 under federal FHWA funding; the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's engineering services RFP for Gallagher Slough Tide Gate Removal and Coastal Wetland Restoration with proposals due September 17, 2026; the Brazos River Authority's freshwater mussel survey and species relocation RFP due July 16, 2026; and the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians' consulting RFP for forest carbon credit project development with proposals due July 22, 2026 and Indian Preference applying. Activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with scattered activity in Colorado and the Upper Midwest.
