An efficient algorithm for enumerating representations of U(3) that occur in a representation of the unitary group U(N) is introduced. The algorithm is applicable to U(N) representations associated with a system of identical fermions (protons, neutrons, electrons, etc.) distributed among the $N=(\eta+1)(\eta+2)/2$ degenerate eigenstates of the $\eta$th level of the three-dimensional harmonic oscillator. A C++ implementation of the algorithm is provided and its performance is evaluated. The implementation can employ OpenMP threading for use in parallel applications.
