UNSPSC 70101502: Fishing port services

UNSPSC 70101502 Fishing port services (Commodity) shows a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the state and local work actually being tagged under it. The recent opportunities record includes a seawater delivery system procurement by the Port of Port Orford—which does align with fishing port infrastructure—alongside a tennis center IT and low-voltage infrastructure rebuild by DeKalb County, Georgia, which is unrelated to fishing port services. The Port of Port Orford solicitation represents genuine fishing port activity: a design-build project to deliver approximately 800 gallons per minute of filtered seawater to support live seafood holding operations, aquaculture enterprises, research, and other commercial uses. DeKalb County's tennis center work is a misclassification and offers no signal about actual fishing port procurement patterns.

The Port of Port Orford seawater delivery system project, issued as an RFP with a proposal deadline of March 4, 2026, carries a $500,000 budget ($118,000 design and permitting, $368,000 for the pumping and distribution system and site work, $14,000 contingency). The procurement requires Oregon prevailing wage compliance, commercial general liability insurance of $2,000,000, performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of contract value, and a $30,000 Public Works Bond. A pre-bid walk-through was scheduled for February 11, 2026, with a question deadline of February 18, 2026, and contractor selection anticipated by March 25, 2026. The source includes no other recent fishing port service solicitations, indicating limited current activity under this code. State and local fishing port procurement appears sparse and geographically concentrated in Pacific Northwest ports, at least based on recent postings.
