UNSPSC 49131505: Fishing bait

UNSPSC 49131505 Fishing bait is a Commodity code that covers the supply of live bait and related aquatic organisms to state and local government agencies for marina operations, recreational fisheries support, and mosquito control programs. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments procure live bait fish under this code to support public marina operations and pest-management initiatives. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners and regional park authorities, which solicit suppliers to deliver live fish in specified sizes and quantities to support either recreational fishing access at public facilities or mosquito abatement programs serving county residents. The Commodity code encompasses both traditional fishing bait (as evidenced by Glynn County, Georgia's request for a bait provider at Blythe Island Regional Park Marina) and specialized aquatic organisms such as Gambusia holbrooki mosquitofish used for mosquito control.

Glynn County, Georgia posted RFP 26-035 on May 26, 2026 for a multi-year bait provider contract at Blythe Island Regional Park Marina, with proposals due July 1, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. through the County's eProcurement Portal; a non-mandatory pre-proposal conference was held June 2, 2026 via in-person and Microsoft Teams attendance. Hillsborough County, Florida issued ITB 2600227 on April 21, 2026 for Gambusia holbrooki mosquitofish delivery across three size categories (medium, large, and field run) for a three-year contract with a project estimate of $169,440.00 and a May 7, 2026 bid deadline. Recent activity shows Georgia and Florida county governments as active buyers under this code, though the geographic spread and issuing-body frequency are limited by the sparse recent-opportunity record. The code shows episodic procurement activity rather than continuous demand across multiple jurisdictions.
