UNSPSC 70101804: Fish ranches

UNSPSC 70101804 Fish ranches is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of live bait supply services and trout nursery facility operations. Recent solicitations show government demand for two distinct forms of activity: contracted supply of bait to support public marina operations, and sub-leased operation of trout fingerling nurseries that serve recreational fishing for the public, including disadvantaged populations. Issuing bodies under this code include county governments and county departments working in collaboration with state natural-resource agencies. The scope extends beyond simple product supply to encompass ongoing facility management and biological husbandry operations for public benefit.

Glynn County, Georgia posted RFP26-035 on May 26, 2026 for a bait provider to service Blythe Island Regional Park Marina under a multi-year contract, with proposals due July 1, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. through the County's eProcurement Portal; a non-mandatory pre-proposal conference was held June 2, 2026 via in-person and Microsoft Teams attendance. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania solicited responses for a 10-year sub-lease to operate a trout nursery facility in collaboration with the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission, posted May 11, 2026 with submissions due June 4, 2026 through the Montgomery County Bonfire procurement portal; the facility spans approximately six pool raceways and ancillary structures on Upper Farm Road in Norristown and targets rearing fingerling trout to support fishing opportunities for disadvantaged children, disabled citizens, and the general public during special events. Both solicitations invite eligible for-profit, non-profit, and public entities; no set-asides or contract values are specified in either opportunity.
