UNSPSC 93141900: Rural development

UNSPSC 93141900 Rural development is a Class code under which state and local governments solicit planning, environmental assessment, habitat restoration, and infrastructure work tied to climate adaptation, conservation land management, and food-system resilience in non-urban and transitional areas. Recent solicitations span shoreline adaptation planning compliant with regional climate frameworks, agricultural lease management on conservation lands, tree and shrub installation for stormwater and habitat function, invasive species control on public open space, and edible food recovery infrastructure in unincorporated and rural-adjacent jurisdictions. The issuing bodies include county offices of sustainability and resilience, county parks and open-space authorities, flood control agencies, county purchasing departments, city public works and planning divisions, and county waste and recycling authorities. Work is frequently grant-funded through state environmental agencies, USDA programs, and regional climate and water authorities, with Davis-Bacon Act compliance and prevailing wage requirements common when federal transportation or disaster-relief funding underlies the project.

Activity is distributed across California (Santa Clara County shoreline adaptation and Orange County food recovery infrastructure), Colorado (Boulder County invasive species management), Georgia (Clayton County hydroseeding and Jimmy Carter Regional Airport planning), Michigan (Jackson street tree installation), and Connecticut (Norwalk tree and shrub planting), with heavy recent concentration in California and the Southeast. Representative opportunities include Santa Clara County's RFP for the Subregional Shoreline Adaptation Plan (response due November 6, 2026, covering sea-level-rise vulnerability assessment and multi-jurisdictional adaptation planning across the Bay Area), the City of Jackson, Michigan's IFB for street tree furnishing and planting with USDA grant funding and prevailing wage compliance (response due September 30, 2026), the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency's RFP for agricultural leases on 460 acres of mitigation habitat in the Natomas Basin (response due September 18, 2026, with evaluation weighted toward conservation-oriented farming practices), and Clayton County, Georgia's ITB for annual hydroseeding services across roadways, parks, and environmental restoration sites (response due June 16, 2026, with 90-day vegetative coverage guarantee).
