UNSPSC 10101725 Live bobo mullet (Commodity) covers the procurement of live fish—specifically hybrid sunfish and fingerling trout—for state and local government stocking, urban fishing programs, and fishery management initiatives. State and local governments buy under this code to support recreational fishing access, conservation education, and special events such as fishing derbies and urban park programs. Recent solicitations show Illinois Department of Natural Resources and Montgomery County, Pennsylvania issuing opportunities, each representing a distinct operational model: annual restocking for public urban fishing sites versus long-term facility operations and management.

Illinois Department of Natural Resources issued IFB B27-422DNR-RESCO-B-54517 on October 14, 2026 for live hybrid sunfish (bluegill/green sunfish hybrids, 4"–6" length) to support its Statewide Urban Fishing Program, with bids due November 4, 2026. The scope encompasses 132,257 fish annually across six regional and statewide special-events categories—Chicago Park Lagoons, Northeast Illinois, Northwest Illinois, Central Illinois, Southern Illinois, and statewide special events—with minimum batch sizes of 1,000 fish and 21-day advance notice required. The vendor must guarantee maximum 2% fish mortality within 72 hours, provide all transportation equipment including fish hauling tanks and pump systems, obtain an Illinois Aquaculture Permit or dealer's license, and carry $1 million general commercial and auto liability insurance. The contract runs two years initially with renewal options for up to three additional years, not to exceed ten years total. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania solicited responses for a 10-year sub-lease to operate a trout nursery facility rearing fingerling trout for disadvantaged children, disabled citizens, and public fishing derbies; responses were due June 4, 2026. Recent activity centers on Illinois and Pennsylvania; the code shows limited but concrete state and local demand for live fish procurement tied to recreational access and fishery stewardship programs.
