UNSPSC 50121900: Salt preserved seafoods

A type of food which has the flesh of fish, roe, intestine and others for salty taste by preserving it with salt.

UNSPSC 50121900 Salt preserved seafoods is a Class code that sees little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—salt-cured or preserved seafood products—aligns poorly with the recent opportunities posted under it. State and local governments buying through this code are predominantly school districts across Georgia and one state agency, but their actual purchases diverge markedly from preserved seafood: the opportunities describe bids for fresh produce, dairy, proteins, snacks, and prepared foods for school nutrition programs, plus grocery staples for state institutions and county facilities. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB for assorted snack products at Mexia State Supported Living Center (HHS0017722, due July 31, 2026) spans approximately 130 line items of prepared foods, beverages, and snacks—none salt-preserved seafood. Similarly, Tattnall County Board of Education's July 2026 IFB (due July 22, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB (SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) both seek fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and grains meeting USDA Child Nutrition standards, with no preserved seafood components.

Activity clusters in Georgia school districts—Tattnall, Hancock, Candler, Early, Effingham, Lamar, Dougherty, Savannah-Chatham, Henry, and Houston counties all posted nutrition program food bids between June and April 2026—and the State of Georgia issued a state-level food procurement in May 2026 (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026). The Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri also solicited grocery items (April 29, 2026) and Invest Atlanta issued a dual-track RFP for retail grocery market and food distribution services (PE66789NONST2027000000021, due August 6, 2026). The code shows no genuine salt-preserved seafood solicitations in the recent-opportunities dataset; all tagged opportunities instead pursue mainstream school nutrition, institutional cafeteria, and food-service procurement. This classification mismatch suggests the code designation does not reflect actual buying patterns and should be skipped unless the opportunity explicitly names preserved seafood products.
