UNSPSC 10101716 Live llambina fish, a Commodity code, covers live freshwater fish species procured by state and local governments to support recreational fishing programs, aquatic habitat restoration, and public fishing events. State and local procurement under this code centers on acquiring live fingerling and juvenile fish in bulk — typically sunfish, trout, and similar species — for stocking public waters and operating fishing programs that serve disadvantaged populations and recreational anglers. Issuing bodies include state fish and wildlife departments, county conservation agencies, and municipal parks authorities. The work involves not only fish acquisition but also management of delivery logistics, fish health guarantees, and long-term facility operations. Recent solicitations show state departments of natural resources as primary buyers, with county-level involvement in facility operations and subspecialty roles such as nursery management.

The code shows recent activity in Illinois and Pennsylvania. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources issued an IFB in October 2026 for 132,257 hybrid sunfish annually across six regional and statewide delivery zones to support Chicago Park Lagoons, Northeast Illinois, and other urban fishing program sites, with bids due November 4, 2026 and a firm fixed-price contract term of two years with renewal options extending to ten years total. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania posted a request for interest in May 2026 for a ten-year sub-lease to operate a trout nursery facility in collaboration with the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission, with proposals due June 4, 2026; this opportunity emphasizes facility operations and fingerling rearing to serve disadvantaged children and special fishing events. Illinois requires domestic product preference and vendor licensing (Aquaculture Permit or Aquatic Life Dealer's License), while Pennsylvania emphasizes operator experience and past nursery performance. Delivery and transportation costs are vendor-borne in both cases.
