UNSPSC 10101701: Live salmon

UNSPSC 10101701 Live salmon is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of live fish for operational and public-service purposes. Recent solicitations show that governments are acquiring live fish not primarily for food consumption but for specialized programs including mosquito control, hatchery and nursery operations supporting recreational fishing access, and wildlife management initiatives. The issuing bodies are county governments and their natural-resources or public-health divisions, operating fish-distribution programs and facility-management contracts alongside state wildlife agencies. Fish specifications in current opportunities reflect operational precision — live fish arrive in oxygenated, medicated water within defined size ranges, with tight delivery windows and temperature or media control requirements.

Hillsborough County, Florida and Montgomery County, Pennsylvania represent the geographic reach in recent activity. Hillsborough County's competitive sealed bid (ITB 26-00227), posted April 21, 2026 with a May 7 deadline, solicits Gambusia holbrooki mosquitofish in three size categories over a three-year contract valued at $169,440, with delivery required within two weeks of purchase order and compliance with strict insurance and E-Verify requirements. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania posted a letter-of-interest solicitation (2629) on May 11, 2026 with a June 4 deadline for a ten-year sub-lease to operate a trout nursery facility, requiring operators to demonstrate fingerling-rearing experience and partner with the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission to support fishing access for disadvantaged populations and fishing derbies; pre-bid site visits were scheduled through the Bonfire portal, and no award value was specified. The code shows limited recent activity — only two substantive opportunities in the recent block — suggesting a narrow and specialized procurement lane.
