UNSPSC 70101509: Seine operations

UNSPSC 70101509 Seine operations is a Commodity code covering contract commercial fishing services for invasive species removal and bait provision at public water facilities. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through natural-resource and parks departments to manage invasive aquatic species and support recreational marina operations. Recent solicitations show work split between large-scale invasive carp harvesting contracts, where state fisheries agencies engage multiple commercial fishermen under master agreements, and smaller bait-supply services for public parks and marinas. Issuing bodies include state wildlife and fisheries departments and county parks authorities; the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources has posted two substantially similar opportunities for the same invasive carp removal program within the same fiscal cycle.

Activity concentrates in Kentucky and Georgia based on recent postings. The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources issued identical invasive carp contract fishing program RFBs (RFB66027000000811 and RFB66027000000812) with a September 23, 2026 response deadline, seeking multiple commercial fishermen at $1,200 per eight-hour day to harvest Silver, Bighead, Grass, and Black Carp from Ohio River pools and tributaries in Kentucky and restricted Indiana waters over a one-year initial term with four optional one-year renewals. Glynn County, Georgia Board of Commissioners released an RFP (PE66300NONST2026-000000119) due July 1, 2026 for a multi-year bait provider contract at Blythe Island Regional Park Marina, with a non-mandatory pre-proposal conference held June 2, 2026. Kentucky resident bidders and designated nonprofits (Kentucky Correctional Industries, Kentucky Industries for the Blind, nonprofits serving individuals with severe disabilities) receive reciprocal and preferential scoring advantages on the KDFWR opportunities. Both Kentucky solicitations require electronic submission only and Commercial General Liability Insurance coverage of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate.
