UNSPSC 21111600: Aquaculture equipment

UNSPSC 21111600 Aquaculture equipment is a Class code that covers tanks, raceways, seawater intakes, pumps, and related infrastructure for shellfish propagation and fish nursery operations. State and local governments soliciting under this code include counties, municipalities, and state wildlife agencies managing fisheries operations, trout rearing facilities, and marine aquaculture projects. The recent opportunities show issuing bodies focused on fisheries management and economic development — Orange County, Florida (bridge infrastructure and marine equipment), the Town of Chatham, Massachusetts (shellfish propagation), Montgomery County, Pennsylvania (trout nursery operation), and the State of Utah (fisheries sampling equipment).

The code sees activity across Florida, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Utah, and California. Representative recent solicitations include the Town of Chatham's RFP for fiberglass-reinforced plastic seawater intakes, intake hoses, clam raceways, upweller tanks, and silos for the 90 Bridge Street Shellfish Propagation facility (due June 11, 2026); a companion Chatham IFB for seawater system procurement and installation including FRP intakes, pump equipment, davit cranes, upweller tanks, silos, piping, outfall diffusers, and electrical and plumbing connections (due June 5, 2026); Montgomery County, Pennsylvania's 10-year sub-lease solicitation to operate a trout nursery with 6+ pool raceways and support infrastructure at 57 Upper Farm Road, Norristown (due June 4, 2026); and the State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources' sole-source procurement of a Smith-Root APEX electrofisher unit for boat integration on northeastern reservoirs (notice posted May 8, 2026, $17,500 budget ceiling). Recent Orange County, California bids for marine engines and boat equipment appear tagged to this code but target law enforcement and sheriff operations rather than aquaculture, suggesting tagging misalignment in the source data.
