UNSPSC 50121539: Fresh fish

UNSPSC 50121539 Fresh fish, a Commodity-tier code, encompasses frozen prepared fish products and fresh seafood supplied to correctional facilities, schools, and institutional food service operations. State and local governments purchase fish sticks, fresh fish fillets, and related seafood items through this code for cafeteria meal programs, inmate nutrition, and food service distribution. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and administrative services, county boards of education, school districts, and youth training centers. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services and Nevada's Youth Training Center have solicited under this code recently, with school districts in Georgia (Tattnall County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education) representing the largest buying segment for seafood and fish products as part of broader school nutrition procurement.

Recent solicitations show activity concentrated in Georgia and Nevada. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services issued RFQ 92100ERFQ0020702027 on October 6, 2026 for 40,000-pound increments of fish sticks to supply correctional industries, with bids due October 12, 2026; Nevada Youth Training Center posted quarterly meat solicitations (40DHHSS3903 due June 18, 2026 and 40DHHSS3997 due September 15, 2026) that included fish and seafood items alongside other proteins.
