UNSPSC 50121543: Fish, dried

A fish, such as a cod or haddock, cured by being split and air-dried without salt.

UNSPSC 50121543 Fish, dried is a Commodity-tier code that encompasses shelf-stable and prepared food products state and local governments are buying for congregate meal programs, senior services, correctional facilities, and school food service. The recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly reflect purchases of broader shelf-stable meal kits, prepared meal components, and food supplies rather than dried fish specifically — Gwinnett County requested canned proteins and shelf-stable food items for senior services; the Illinois Department of Corrections procured certified halal prepackaged meals; Hillsborough County sought senior meal preparation and delivery services; and Montgomery County, Pennsylvania issued an RFP for home-delivered meals. The issuing bodies are a mix of county health and human services departments, state correctional and health agencies, school districts, and municipalities. Gwinnett County appears twice in the recent activity, indicating it is an active buyer under food-service classifications in this region.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Clayton County), with additional recent procurements in Illinois (Department of Corrections), Texas (Hillsborough County and Katy ISD), Pennsylvania (Montgomery County), Connecticut (New Haven), and Florida. Hillsborough County's ITB for senior meals closed June 25, 2026 with an estimated three-year contract value of $17.8 million; Clayton County's RFP for home-delivered meals closed June 11, 2026 with proposals due electronically; Montgomery County's RFP for home-delivered meal services closed May 21, 2026 with a three-year contract term commencing July 1, 2026; and Gwinnett County issued an informal quote request (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items on October 19, 2026 for delivery by December 7, 2026 to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center.
