UNSPSC 77101602: Forest conservation strategy planning

UNSPSC 77101602 Forest conservation strategy planning is a Commodity code under which state and local governments solicit professional planning and technical services for natural resource assessment, restoration, and watershed management, though recent activity under this code shows limited relevance to forest conservation per se. The opportunities posted align more closely with shoreline adaptation planning, stormwater management, environmental assessment, and broader community forestry and tree canopy services than with forest conservation planning in the traditional sense. Issuing bodies span municipal, county, regional, and special-district jurisdictions across multiple states. The City of Casselberry, Florida, the Santa Clara County Office of Sustainability and Resilience, and the Orange County Transportation Authority represent the mix of local and regional agencies active in this space. Work solicited includes stormwater engineering and lakes management, sea-level rise vulnerability assessment and adaptation planning, water quality technical consulting, tree canopy assessment and geodatabase development, and forestry program administration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Casselberry's SOQ for stormwater and lakes management consulting (SOQ-2019-0424, due February 5, 2019, now closed), the Santa Clara County subregional shoreline adaptation plan (RFP, due November 6, 2026), and the City of Pooler, Georgia's tree canopy assessment (RFP, due November 6, 2026). Geographic spread reflects concentration in Florida and California, with emerging activity in Georgia, Colorado, and the Pacific Northwest. Recent solicitation volume suggests the code captures a small but consistent stream of planning and assessment work tied to water quality, climate adaptation, and urban forest management rather than traditional forest management or timber-harvest planning on public or private forest holdings.
