UNSPSC 50121537: Frozen fish

UNSPSC 50121537 Frozen fish, a Commodity code, encompasses frozen seafood products supplied to institutional food service operations across state agencies, school districts, corrections systems, and healthcare facilities. State and local governments procure frozen fish as part of broader food-service contracts that include specifications for product grade, temperature maintenance, shelf life, delivery logistics, and compliance with USDA nutritional and safety standards. The work covers direct commodity procurement (fish fillets, fish sticks, and prepared seafood products) integrated into weekly or episodic purchasing for cafeterias, correctional facilities, state supported living centers, and hospital food services.

Issuing bodies under this code span state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department of Administrative Services), school districts (New Haven Board of Education, Effingham County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education), state institutions (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center), and economic development entities (Invest Atlanta). Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative recent solicitations include Georgia's Department of Administrative Services IFB for 40,000-pound increments of fish sticks to supply Georgia Correctional Industries (due October 12, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017338 for 106 line items of frozen food products including frozen fish to supply state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million (due August 18, 2026); and New Haven Board of Education RFP 2026HYRFPCNH346 for over 200 commodity food line items including frozen fish to support the Child Nutrition Program serving approximately 17,500 to 19,000 meals daily (due June 16, 2026). Pricing is typically firm fixed-price with freight and delivery embedded F.O.B. destination, and contracts generally run one to two years with optional renewals tied to performance and budget availability.
