UNSPSC 70101804: Fish ranches

UNSPSC 70101804 Fish ranches (Commodity) covers live bait supply and fish nursery operations that state and local governments procure to support public recreation, wildlife management, and community fishing programs. The scope encompasses both commercial bait provision for public marinas and the operation of dedicated fingerling-rearing facilities to stock public waters for fishing access and special events. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments and regional park authorities managing recreational fishing infrastructure. Recent opportunities show county park boards contracting for bait supply to marina operations and county conservation departments seeking private or non-profit operators to manage public fish nurseries on a multi-year or long-term sub-lease basis.
