UNSPSC 10101807: Live octopi

UNSPSC 10101807 Live octopi is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses the supply of live aquatic species for operational and public-benefit purposes. The recent solicitations tagged under this code do not in fact involve octopi; instead, they reflect procurement of live fish — mosquitofish for mosquito control and trout fingerlings for recreational fishing and community engagement. State and local governments are buying live fish through this code for disease-vector management, hatchery operations, and public-use fishery programs. Issuing bodies include county-level agencies such as Hillsborough County Board of Commissioners and Montgomery County Pennsylvania, alongside single municipal or county purchasing offices managing requests for live-stock supply and facility operations.

Hillsborough County, Florida has solicited live mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) in three size grades for delivery to residents and county-managed control programs through a competitive sealed bid (ITB-26-00227, due May 7, 2026), with an estimated three-year contract value of $169,440.00 and delivery required within two weeks of purchase order issuance. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania posted a request for interest from for-profit, non-profit, and public entities to operate a trout fingerling nursery facility under a ten-year sub-lease collaboration with the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission (Solicitation 2629, due June 4, 2026), with an onsite pre-bid conference available and evaluation based on price, bidder experience, and past performance. Recent activity centers in Pennsylvania and Florida; the code shows limited broader geographic spread in the most recent opportunity set.
