UNSPSC 77101603: Marine conservation strategy planning

UNSPSC 77101603 Marine conservation strategy planning is a Commodity code that state and local governments deploy for environmental planning, permitting, and strategic planning work in coastal and watershed contexts—though recent solicitations show the code capturing a broader spectrum of planning and environmental consulting activity than the abstract name alone suggests. Recent state and local opportunities under this code include shoreline adaptation planning, stormwater and lakes management consulting, environmental permitting services, recycling program strategy development, community-based forestry planning, disaster debris monitoring oversight, and natural resource restoration program management, alongside traditional marine and coastal conservation work.

The issuing-body mix includes county governments (Santa Clara County, Henry County, Camden County, Galveston County, Bernalillo County), municipal planning and public works departments (City of Casselberry, City of New Smyrna Beach, City of Cincinnati, City of Salem, City of Swainsboro, City of Dallas, City of Atlanta, Village of Schaumburg), special-purpose districts and authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority, Coastal Region Metropolitan Planning Organization, Urban Flood Safety & Water Quality District, Utilities Commission of New Smyrna Beach, East Georgia Regional Airport Authority), state agencies (Georgia Department of Transportation, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Texas General Land Office), county boards of commissioners, and nonprofit tribal governments. Activity is concentrated across Florida (Casselberry, New Smyrna Beach, multiple county proposals), Georgia (Santa Clara County, Henry County, Swainsboro, Athens-Clarke County, Mableton, City of Atlanta), and the Pacific Northwest (Santa Clara County, Portland metro, Salem); additional scattered opportunities span Texas, Ohio, Michigan, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, North Carolina, and New Mexico. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Casselberry, Florida's SOQ for stormwater and lakes management consulting (due February 2019, awarded to four firms including CPH, Inc.; Geosyntec Consultants, Inc.; Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc.; and Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions, Inc. under a five-year continuing services contract); Santa Clara County's RFP for the Subregional Shoreline Adaptation Plan (due November 6, 2026, seeking a contractor team to lead sea level rise risk assessment and adaptation planning across unincorporated Santa Clara County and six participating Bay Area cities); and the Orange County Transportation Authority's RFP for water quality technical consulting to support the M2 Environmental Cleanup Program (due November 9, 2026, five-year contract at $300,000 total budget on a time-and-materials basis).
