UNSPSC 94131700: Green associations

UNSPSC 94131700 Green associations, a Class code, encompasses environmental consulting and ecological restoration services that state and local governments procure to address habitat remediation, invasive species control, and natural resource management on public lands and in sensitive ecological areas. The code captures work ranging from Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments for brownfield remediation to invasive species treatment in woodlands, riparian restoration, and habitat enhancement for threatened or endangered species, with contract values typically structured as hourly rates, unit pricing, or lump-sum project costs. Issuing bodies include state environmental departments (Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Georgia Department of Environmental Protection), state military departments managing public lands (Oregon Military Department), county parks and conservation districts (Coos Soil and Water Conservation District, Boulder County Parks and Open Space, Collier County), municipal governments (City of Huntsville, City of Phoenix, City of Union City), and state-level procurement offices. Solicitations emphasize specialized licensing—commercial herbicide applicator certificates, OSHA hazardous waste certifications, or Oregon Public Pesticide Applicator Licenses—and documented experience in high-quality natural areas, endangered species habitats, and ecological restoration; many contracts require 90 to 95 percent kill-rate performance standards for invasive species work and adaptive management frameworks with multi-year monitoring.

Recent activity spans Illinois (invasive woody species control at Starved Rock Nature Preserve and Ferne Clyffe State Park, mussel surveys on three river systems, woodland grazing for invasive control), Oregon (Washington Ground Squirrel habitat restoration at Boardman Bombing Range with three-year contract through June 2031, riparian planting and fencing on the Coquille River), Georgia (environmental consulting for EPA Multipurpose Brownfield Grant in Columbus with responses due August 21, 2026, NEPA and cultural resources support for GDOT via three separate RFQs), Colorado (scour critical bridge repairs with riprap installation and stream restoration at Boulder County in spring 2026), Florida (mangrove restoration and coastal vegetation planting at Collier County with unit-price bidding, tree replanting on scenic roads in Hillsborough County for $935,275.00), and Washington (forest carbon offset feasibility analysis across five counties). Representative opportunities include the Consolidated Government of Columbus, Georgia issuing an RFP for environmental consulting supporting a $1 million EPA Multipurpose Brownfield Grant with Phase I and II assessments and remedial design work, three-year term with two optional one-year renewals, responses due August 21, 2026; Coos Soil and Water Conservation District (Oregon) soliciting sealed bids for riparian restoration across three Coquille River watershed sites with invasive blackberry removal, fencing, and native planting, bids due July 24, 2026; and the Oregon Military Department seeking proposals for Washington Ground Squirrel habitat restoration phases at the Boardman Bombing Range, with work structured in phases requiring cryptogamic soil crust salvage, native seeding, and shrub establishment across up to 433 acres, proposals due June 11, 2026.
