UNSPSC 94131701: Radical green associations

UNSPSC 94131701 Radical green associations (Commodity) represents environmental restoration, invasive species control, habitat enhancement, and related ecological management services that state and local governments procure to protect and restore natural communities, wetlands, and sensitive ecosystems. Recent state and local solicitations show governments buying ecological surveys, cryptogamic soil crust salvage and restoration, native plant installation, invasive species control via herbicide application and mechanical removal, habitat monitoring, forest carbon assessments, mangrove restoration, mussel surveys, and riparian enhancement across public lands, state parks, preserves, and protected waterways. The mix of issuing bodies includes state departments of natural resources and environmental protection (Illinois DNR, Georgia EPD, Washington DNR, Oregon Military Department), county park and open space agencies (Boulder County Parks & Open Space, Collier County), soil and water conservation districts (Coos Soil and Water Conservation District in Oregon), municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Huntsville, City of Union City), and specialized conservation districts (Forest Preserve District of Kane County). Illinois DNR appears as a repeat buyer across multiple habitat restoration and invasive control projects. Work is geographically distributed across Illinois, Oregon, Washington, Georgia, Florida, Colorado, Texas, and California, with notable recent activity in the Pacific Northwest and Upper Midwest.

Representative recent opportunities include the Coos Soil and Water Conservation District's riparian restoration RFQ (posted June 26, 2026; due July 24, 2026) soliciting invasive blackberry removal, fencing, watering systems, and native planting across three Coquille River watershed sites in Coos County, Oregon; the Consolidated Government of Columbus, Georgia's environmental consulting RFP (posted July 2, 2026; due August 21, 2026) for Phase I and II environmental site assessments, brownfield revitalization planning, and remedial design support under an EPA Multipurpose Brownfield Grant with a $1 million total grant budget; the Oregon Military Department's habitat restoration RFP (posted May 20, 2026; due June 11, 2026) for Washington Ground Squirrel habitat restoration at the Boardman Bombing Range spanning three phases from soil crust salvage to native planting with contract term through June 30, 2031; and the Illinois DNR's competitive bids for woody invasive control at Starved Rock Nature Preserve (posted March 16, 2026; due March 23, 2026) and Cache River Woodlands (posted February 19, 2026; due March 3, 2026) using herbicide treatment and mechanical removal with hourly-rate structures. Procurement methods include RFP, RFQ, RFI, IFB, and ITB formats with typical response windows of two to eight weeks and mandatory pre-bid site visits or virtual conferences common in larger habitat projects. Insurance requirements typically include $1 million to $2 million commercial general liability and professional liability coverage; many procurements specify herbicide applicator licenses or specialized ecological credentials. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction but are not uniformly applied across the code.
