UNSPSC 10101700: Live fish

UNSPSC 10101700 Live fish is a Class code that covers the procurement of live fish for stocking and habitat purposes by state and local government agencies. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing live trout for public fishing programs, operating fish nurseries to rear fingerling trout for community access, and procuring artificial fish habitat structures to enhance ecosystem conditions in public waterways. The issuing bodies span regional park departments, state wildlife divisions, county conservation authorities, and state departments of natural resources. Work under this code includes supplier contracts for delivery of live fish by species and size grade, operational sub-leases for the maintenance and rearing of fingerling trout at established nursery facilities, and procurement of engineered habitat materials designed to support fish populations in reservoirs and community ponds.

Recent activity concentrates in California, Pennsylvania, and Utah. San Bernardino County Regional Parks Department issued an ITB (PARKS26PARKS6400, due June 22, 2026) for approximately 35,000 to 150,000 pounds of live trout in three size grades—20% averaging one pound, 40% averaging 1.5 to 2 pounds, and 40% averaging 3 to 10 pounds—with Thursday deliveries from November 2026 through March 2027 to five regional parks under California prevailing wage requirements and a 5% local-vendor preference. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania sought responses for a 10-year sub-lease to operate a trout nursery facility at 57 Upper Farm Road, Norristown (RFI 2629, due June 4, 2026), targeting rearing of fingerling trout for fishing opportunities for disadvantaged children and disabled citizens during special events. The State of Utah Division of Purchasing through the Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife Resources issued two RFQs for artificial habitat structures: BD26-72 for 100 Honey Hole Trees, 50 Honey Hole Shrubs, and Spawning Discs with a $34,000 budget (due May 13, 2026) and JF26-74 for 95 Mossback habitat units including Safe Haven and Trophy Tree kits for Jordanelle Reservoir (due May 12, 2026).
