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, a Commodity code, does not map cleanly to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialized engineering for fishery systems and aquaculture—appears in none of the recent opportunities tagged under it in the data. Instead, the opportunities reflect civil engineering, infrastructure design, and construction administration work across transportation, water resources, wastewater treatment, and facilities projects that fall outside fisheries engineering proper. The issuing bodies include towns (Glastonbury, Connecticut), counties (Brazos River Authority in Texas, Chatham County and DeKalb County in Georgia, Madison County in Georgia, Montgomery County in Pennsylvania), cities (Griffin and Union City in Georgia, Social Circle in Georgia, Madison in Wisconsin, Nicholls in Georgia), and a state transportation department (Georgia Department of Transportation). The work solicited spans on-call civil engineering consulting; dam hydrostatic relief system assessment; roadway pavement and drainage design; preliminary engineering reports and construction administration for federally assisted water and sewer projects; general engineering consulting for express lanes; building commissioning; pedestrian infrastructure improvements; telecommunications infrastructure; building plan review and inspection; and gymnasium reconstruction following Hurricane Helene damage.

The geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in Georgia (GDOT I-75 South Express Lanes consulting, City of Social Circle pedestrian design, DeKalb County tennis center infrastructure, Madison County wastewater treatment, City of Union City plan review services, City of Nicholls gymnasium reconstruction) and Texas (Brazos River Authority dam engineering), with secondary activity in Connecticut (Town of Glastonbury on-call civil engineering), Wisconsin (City of Madison golf clubhouse commissioning), and Pennsylvania (Montgomery County fish nursery sub-lease). Representative recent opportunities include the Brazos River Authority's October 14, 2026 RFP for hydrostatic pressure relief system assessment and downstream channel improvements at Sterling C. Robertson Dam (RFPNO261385); Chatham County's September 8, 2026 RFP for pavement and drainage design consulting on Wahlstrom and Forbes Roads (26-0088-2); and the Town of Glastonbury's October 21, 2026 RFP for on-call civil engineering services across multiple disciplines (RPGL202723). The code exhibits a broad mismatch between its nominal taxonomy and the actual work being purchased; the recent posting history suggests that the code is either misapplied to general infrastructure engineering work or sees minimal genuine fisheries engineering procurement at the state and local level.
