UNSPSC 10101723 Live black prochilodus is a Commodity code that covers procurement of live fish species for state and local government programs, though recent opportunities show activity concentrated in sunfish and trout for public recreational fishing initiatives rather than prochilodus specifically. State and local governments buy live fish under this code to support urban fishing programs, recreational access for underserved populations, and fishery management objectives. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources issued an IFB in October 2026 for 132,257 hybrid sunfish annually across six regions to stock Chicago park lagoons and regional fishing sites, with vendors required to hold aquaculture or aquatic life dealer licenses, provide live-haul equipment, and guarantee maximum 2% mortality within 72 hours. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania solicited a ten-year sub-lease operator in May 2026 to maintain and operate a trout nursery facility producing fingerling trout for fishing derbies and recreational access for disadvantaged children and disabled citizens. Issuing bodies include state natural resources departments and county conservation authorities managing public fishing access and youth or equity-focused recreation programs.

Illinois and Pennsylvania dominate recent activity under this code. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources IFB for sunfish (due November 4, 2026) reflects substantial ongoing procurement to replenish urban fishing stock across multiple regions, with domestic product preference and firm pricing through the initial two-year contract term plus up to three renewal years. Montgomery County's trout nursery operator solicitation (due June 4, 2026) represents the county-level stream of activity. The code shows limited recent geographic diversity beyond these two states and little evidence of national-scale or multi-state purchasing patterns; both opportunities target regionally bounded recreation and conservation missions rather than wholesale commodity distribution.
