UNSPSC 81101530: Fisheries engineering

A civil engineering- related discipline that involves the study and research of all activities related to the extraction, processing, marketing and cultivation of aquatic species, whether freshwater or marine.

UNSPSC 81101530 Fisheries engineering is a Commodity code that sees sparse and sporadic state and local procurement activity, with recent opportunities showing minimal relevance to the code's nominal scope. Among the ten recent opportunities tagged to this code, only one—Montgomery County, Pennsylvania's sub-lease for fish nursery operation and maintenance at a trout facility (posted May 11, 2026, due June 4, 2026)—genuinely aligns with fisheries work. The remaining nine solicitations span highway and bridge engineering (Georgia Department of Transportation general engineering consulting and construction engineering inspection for I-75 and State Route 25 projects), pedestrian infrastructure design (City of Social Circle, Georgia), IT infrastructure installation (DeKalb County), wastewater treatment plant upgrades (Madison County, Georgia), building plan review and inspection (City of Union City, Georgia), gymnasium architectural and engineering services following Hurricane Helene damage (City of Nicholls, Georgia), regional transportation planning consulting (North Florida Transportation Planning Organization via Jacksonville Transportation Authority), municipal engineering services (City of Cedartown, Georgia), parks and recreation planning consulting (County of Santa Clara, California), dam site management and regulatory compliance (Connecticut Brownfield Land Bank for Kinneytown Dam), utilities engineering services (Orange County, Florida), oyster reef restoration material deployment (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission), and lake fishing access feasibility study (State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources). The code shows little recent activity in states or jurisdictions with active fisheries procurement, and the tagging of engineering and infrastructure work to a fisheries-specific commodity code suggests either indexing inconsistency or that state and local procurement systems do not consistently isolate true fisheries engineering from general civil and environmental engineering services.

The single relevant recent opportunity—Montgomery County's fish nursery sub-lease—reflects management and operational responsibility for a trout fingerling rearing facility rather than engineering design or infrastructure development. The county issued a non-mandatory pre-bid conference and sought a one-to-three-page letter of interest from for-profit, non-profit, and public entities with prior nursery operation experience and a minimum of three professional references, with proposals due electronically through the Bonfire portal by June 4, 2026. Beyond this narrow instance, state and local buyers do not appear to procure discrete fisheries engineering services under this code in the recent market.
