UNSPSC 10101801: Live shrimp

UNSPSC 10101801 Live shrimp (Commodity) represents aquatic organisms and related stock for public programs, though recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code reflect broader aquaculture procurement — specifically live fish species for stocking public waters and educational facilities rather than shrimp. State and local governments use this code to procure fingerling and juvenile fish for urban fishing initiatives, fish derbies, and recreational access programs aimed at underserved populations. Illinois Department of Natural Resources and Montgomery County, Pennsylvania have posted opportunities for hybrid sunfish and trout nursery operations respectively, suggesting the code captures live aquatic stock procurement across wildlife management and public recreation portfolios. Vendors must typically hold aquaculture permits or dealer licenses specific to the sourcing state, provide live-haul equipment and transportation, guarantee mortality thresholds, and carry commercial liability insurance naming the jurisdiction as additional insured.

Recent activity concentrates in Illinois and Pennsylvania. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources issued IFB B27-422DNR-RESCO-B-54517 on October 14, 2026, requesting 132,257 hybrid sunfish annually (4"–6" length) for the Statewide Urban Fishing Program across six regional delivery zones, with bids due November 4, 2026; the contract runs two years with renewal options up to ten years total, domestic product preference applies, and award goes to the lowest priced responsive bidder by delivery location. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania released RFI 2629 on May 11, 2026 (due June 4, 2026) to identify operators for a ten-year trout nursery sub-lease to rear fingerling trout for disadvantaged children and public fishing events, with a mandatory pre-bid site conference and no specified award value. One additional record (Williamson County, Texas, July 2026) was a purchasing office relocation notice and does not constitute a procurement opportunity.
