UNSPSC 50121500: Fish

UNSPSC 50121500 Fish is a Class code encompassing seafood and prepared fish products procured by state and local governments for institutional foodservice, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs. The recent activity shows state and local buyers purchasing fish products primarily as components of larger food procurement contracts — notably fish sticks for correctional industries and fish as a line item within school nutrition and general institutional food supplier bids. Issuing bodies span state departments (Georgia Department of Administrative Services, Nevada Department of Health and Human Services), county boards of education (Tattnall County, Early County, Hancock County in Georgia), county sheriffs' offices (Santa Clara County), and specialized state institutions (Nevada Youth Training Center). School districts and correctional agencies represent the dominant buyer segments, with fish and seafood purchased as part of broader food supplier contracts rather than standalone commodity solicitations.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Nevada with secondary activity in California. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services issued an RFQ (Solicitation 92100ERFQ0020702027) for fish sticks delivered in 40,000-pound increments to Georgia Correctional Industries, with bids due October 12, 2026 through the GA@Work portal, requiring all-inclusive delivery pricing in PDF format with detailed specification compliance rather than checkbox responses. Nevada Youth Training Center issued quarterly meat solicitations (40DHHSS3903 and 40DHHSS3997) accepting fish and protein quotes through NevadaEPro with Nevada-vendor and veteran-business preferences available. Hancock County Board of Education (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 29, 2026) and Early County Board of Education (PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026) each solicited fish as line items within 300+ item school nutrition supplier bids. All school district and institutional bids enforced Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for food products), HACCP certification, and general liability insurance of $500,000 to $1,000,000. Federal compliance, detailed product specifications, firm pricing including delivery, and multi-month contract terms (typically July 1 through June 30) are standard across these procurements.
