UNSPSC 10101712 Live mojarra fish, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of live fish species for public distribution, environmental management, and public health purposes. State and local governments use this code to purchase live fish for mosquito control programs, educational and recreational fishing initiatives, and aquatic resource management. Recent solicitations show counties and special-purpose districts sourcing live fish to support public health (mosquito suppression through mosquitofish distribution to residents), recreation (fingerling trout rearing for fishing derbies and special events), and community engagement with disadvantaged and disabled populations. The issuing bodies are primarily county government purchasing departments and county commissions, occasionally in collaboration with state natural resource agencies such as fish and game commissions.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. Hillsborough County, Florida solicited live Gambusia holbrooki mosquitofish (ITB 26-00227, due May 7, 2026) for three-year supply to its Public Works Mosquito Control Division at an estimated value of $169,440.00, requiring delivery of live fish in oxygenated, medicated water within two weeks of purchase order issuance. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania issued an RFQ (Solicitation 2629, due June 4, 2026) seeking a sub-lessee operator to maintain and run a trout nursery facility over ten years, rearing fingerling trout for public fishing opportunities and special events targeting disadvantaged children and disabled citizens. A third notice from Williamson County, Texas (posted July 14, 2026) is an administrative relocation announcement with no procurement scope and does not constitute a relevant opportunity. The code shows modest recent activity concentrated in specialized public health and recreation use cases rather than broad commodity supply.
