UNSPSC 70101800: Fisheries resources

UNSPSC 70101800 Fisheries resources is a Class code that encompasses procurement of equipment, supplies, and services directly supporting fisheries operations and aquatic resource management. State and local governments soliciting under this code buy fish stocking materials, harvester equipment and components for hatcheries, marine patrol vessels and motors, and specialized equipment for aquatic invasive species control. The issuing bodies include state fish and wildlife departments, county governments, and municipalities, with responsibilities ranging from hatchery operations to recreational fishery management and invasive species mitigation in urban reservoirs. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Chatham County (Georgia), and City of Austin represent recent active buyers in this space.

Activity under the code spans the Pacific Northwest, Southwest, and Southeast regions. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife solicited North Nehalem Fish Harvester Components—a 6-inch Biostream fish pump, Honda engine, dewatering box, fish counter, and delivery hoses for Nehalem Fish Hatchery—through an intermediate procurement with bids due February 6, 2026. The City of Austin issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB 6300ACA1010REBID) for a multi-year supply contract of approximately 3,000 sterile grass carp annually to control hydrilla in Lake Austin, with bids due March 2, 2026 and an anticipated first-year budget of $50,000.00, including local and small business discounts of 3 to 5 percent. Chatham County, Georgia solicited competitive bids for two new Mercury outboard motors for Marine Patrol operations under solicitation 26-0038-4 with bids due May 4, 2026. The Travis Freshwater Fisheries Center in Henderson County, Texas posted a pond liner replacement bid (P# 1212568) with a due date of March 17, 2026, though minimal scope detail was available. A cooperative purchasing RFP through Sourcewell on behalf of multiple jurisdictions also tagged this code for law enforcement equipment, indicating potential misclassification or scope drift in how some agencies classify aquatics-related procurement.
