UNSPSC 10101712 Live mojarra fish is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure live fish for public recreational fishing programs and facility operations. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources recently solicited 132,257 live hybrid sunfish annually (bluegill/green sunfish hybrids, 4"–6" in length) to stock urban fishing lagoons, regional sites, and statewide special events under an IFB due November 4, 2026. Vendors must hold either an Illinois Aquaculture Permit, an Illinois Resident Aquatic Life Dealer's License, or a Non-Resident Aquatic Life Dealer License; guarantee maximum 2% fish mortality within 72 hours; provide transportation equipment including fish hauling tanks and pump systems; and carry $1 million in General Commercial Liability and Auto Liability coverage. The contract runs for two years with renewal options extending up to ten years total, with firm pricing through BidBuy and annual freight adjustments capped at the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Producer Price Index. Domestic product preference applies, requiring affirmative declaration of United States manufacturing. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania also released a solicitation for a 10-year sub-lease to operate a trout nursery facility (due June 4, 2026) to rear fingerling trout for public fishing opportunities and special events; the operation is conducted in collaboration with the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission and open to insured for-profit, non-profit, and public entities.

The recent activity under this code is concentrated in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Illinois and Pennsylvania are the two states with posted opportunities in the dataset. The Illinois solicitation (IFB B27-422DNR-RESCO-B-54517) represents the clearest current volume opportunity, with annual statewide deliveries across six regional categories and domestic-product preference enforced. The Montgomery County sub-lease opportunity (Solicitation 2629) represents operational management of a public fishery asset rather than live-fish procurement itself but reflects state and local demand for trout-stocking infrastructure and public access programming. No other recent opportunities under this code are present in the source.
