UNSPSC 70101904: Shrimp farming

UNSPSC 70101904 Shrimp farming is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement activity covers the provision of bait and aquaculture operation services rather than commercial shrimp production. The recent solicitations show county and municipal governments buying services from providers to stock and maintain aquatic facilities — bait supply for public marinas and trout nursery operations supporting recreational fishing programs and public access. The issuing bodies include county governments and municipalities acting either directly or in partnership with state fish and wildlife agencies. Work involves sourcing and delivering live bait to public access points, operating fingerling-rearing facilities, and managing aquaculture infrastructure to support community recreation and fisheries enhancement missions.

Georgia and Pennsylvania account for the recent activity. Glynn County, Georgia posted an RFP on May 26, 2026 for a multi-year bait provider contract at Blythe Island Regional Park Marina with proposals due July 1, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., with a non-mandatory pre-proposal conference held June 2, 2026 at the Harold Pate Building in Brunswick, and written questions due by June 9, 2026 via the County's eProcurement Portal. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania posted an A&I (request for interest) on May 11, 2026 for a 10-year sub-lease to operate a trout nursery facility at 57 Upper Farm Road, Norriton, Pennsylvania in collaboration with the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission, with a June 4, 2026 submission deadline via the Bonfire portal; the solicitation invites for-profit, non-profit, and public entities and requires submission of a one to three-page letter of interest with operational experience and references, with an onsite pre-bid conference available for facility tours.
