UNSPSC 21110000: Fishing and aquaculture equipment

UNSPSC 21110000 Fishing and aquaculture equipment, a Family code, encompasses artificial fish habitat structures and ecosystem restoration materials that state wildlife agencies procure to enhance fishery conditions in public waters. Recent solicitations show state divisions of wildlife resources and natural resources actively purchasing prefabricated habitat units—tree structures, shrub structures, spawning discs, and modular kits—designed to improve conditions for forage fish recruitment, young-of-the-year fish, and adult warmwater species such as bluegill, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and yellow perch. The equipment is purpose-built for minimal assembly and direct deployment in ponds, reservoirs, and river systems, with specifications calling for decay-resistant, snag-resistant materials suitable for algae growth and integral anchoring systems. State natural resources and wildlife divisions form the primary issuing bodies under this code, purchasing through RFQ notice types for direct installation by agency fisheries staff.

Utah's Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife Resources dominates recent activity, having posted two separate RFQs in May 2026. The State of Utah Division of Purchasing issued BD26-72 on May 6, 2026 (due May 13) seeking ecosystem restoration materials for community pond fish habitat—100 Honey Hole Tree structures, 50 Honey Hole Shrub structures, and associated spawning discs with a $34,000.00 total project budget and June 30, 2026 delivery deadline. The same issuing body released JF26-74 on May 5, 2026 (due May 12) for Jordanelle Reservoir artificial fish habitat structures comprising 95 individual units across six product categories (Safe Haven Kits, Trophy Tree Kits, Root Wad Kits, and Fry Fortress structures) to address documented Yellow Perch population decline and smallmouth bass growth constraints. A third opportunity—Sourcewell's RFP 061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment posted May 12, 2026 (due June 16)—appears misclassified under this code and does not reflect actual fishing and aquaculture procurement activity.
