UNSPSC 10101810: Live sponge

An aquatic multicellular organism

UNSPSC 10101810 Live sponge is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure live aquatic organisms for public health, environmental, and recreational purposes. Recent solicitations show that activity under this code spans live fish supply for mosquito control and facility-based aquaculture operations serving public constituencies. Issuing bodies include county governments and collaborative public-agency partnerships. The Montgomery County, Pennsylvania procurement for fish nursery operation (Solicitation 2629, RFP posted May 11, 2026, due June 4, 2026) sought a ten-year sub-lease operator to rear fingerling trout for fishing derbies and public access programs. The Hillsborough County, Florida competitive sealed bid (ITB2600227, posted April 21, 2026, due May 7, 2026) solicited live Gambusia holbrooki mosquitofish in three size grades for residential mosquito control distribution, with an estimated contract value of $169,440 over three years and delivery in oxygenated, medicated water within two weeks of purchase order issuance.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, with reported activity in Pennsylvania and Florida. The issuing-body base includes county governments and county public works departments. Beyond the two substantive recent opportunities, the source shows one administrative notice (Williamson County Purchasing Department relocation, July 2026) that does not constitute procurement activity. Overall activity under the code appears limited, with recent solicitations driven by public health mosquito control and recreational fisheries programs rather than broad demand across multiple jurisdiction types.
