UNSPSC 70101704: Fish storage

UNSPSC 70101704 Fish storage, a Commodity code, covers bait supply and fish nursery operations that state and local recreation and natural-resources agencies procure to support public fishing programs and marina services. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county boards of commissioners and county conservation departments managing parks, marinas, and fishery-development facilities. Work being solicited includes multi-year bait supply contracts for public marinas and sub-leases or management agreements for trout nursery operations dedicated to rearing fingerling trout for public fishing events and disadvantaged populations. The scope encompasses both commercial bait delivery to support recreational fishing access and operational management of hatchery-style facilities.

Recent activity centers on the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.
