UNSPSC 10101715: Live lumptail sea robin fish

A type of sea robin fish, also known as gurnard, which is a bottom-feeding member of the scorpaeniform fishes in the family triglidae. They get their name from their large pectoral fins, which, when swimming, open and close like a birds wings in flight.

UNSPSC 10101715 Live lumptail sea robin fish (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single substantive recent opportunity—Illinois Department of Natural Resources IFB B27-422DNR-RESCO-B-54517, posted October 14, 2026 with bids due November 4, 2026—solicits live hybrid sunfish (bluegill/green sunfish hybrids, 4"–6" length) for the Statewide Urban Fishing Program, not lumptail sea robins. The scope encompasses annual delivery of 132,257 fish across six regional and statewide categories (Chicago Park Lagoons, Northeast Illinois, Northwest Illinois, Central Illinois, Southern Illinois, and special events), with batches of no fewer than 1,000 fish, maximum 2% mortality guarantee within 72 hours, vendor-supplied transportation equipment including fish hauling tanks and pump systems, and a two-year initial term with renewal options up to ten years total. The vendor must hold an Illinois Aquaculture Permit or Illinois Resident Aquatic Life Dealer's License (residents) or Non-Resident Aquatic Life Dealer License (non-residents), provide $1 million General and Auto Liability coverage, and comply with domestic product preference requirements. A secondary opportunity—Montgomery County, Pennsylvania RFQ 2629, posted May 11, 2026 with responses due June 4, 2026—solicits a sub-lease operator for a trout nursery facility to rear fingerling trout for fishing derbies and public access, a different commodity category altogether.

The code shows activity only in Illinois and Pennsylvania, with no indication of broader state or regional solicitation patterns. Illinois Department of Natural Resources represents the only issuing body pursuing work within the nominal scope of the code, though the actual commodity delivered (hybrid sunfish) differs from the code name (lumptail sea robin fish). The mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the live fish actually being procured under recent state and local notices suggests either misclassification in the source data or limited real-world activity in lumptail sea robin procurement at the state and local level. Vendors pursuing this code should verify current UNSPSC tagging practices with procurement offices before bid preparation, as the code may not reliably reflect recent opportunities in practice.
