UNSPSC 50121903: Salted shrimp

A type of salt-fermented seafood that is made by dropping salt on raw shrimp.

UNSPSC 50121903 Salted shrimp is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct procurement activity in state and local government. The recent solicitations tagged with this code reveal a substantial mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited. While one opportunity (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, IFB HHS0017722, due July 31, 2026) touches tangentially on salted or prepared food products—snack and canteen items for a state supported living center—the remaining fifteen opportunities in the dataset address fresh produce, dairy, proteins, grains, paper supplies, chemicals, and general grocery procurement for school nutrition programs and state institutions. None of these solicitations actively seek salted shrimp or other prepared seafood products. The code shows no meaningful recent activity aligned with its stated commodity classification.

State and local buyers tagged under this code are predominantly school boards (Tattnall County, Hancock County, Candler County, Early County, Effingham County, Lamar County, Dougherty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Henry County, Houston County, and Douglas County in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri) and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), along with a specialized economic development entity (Invest Atlanta). The geographic footprint is concentrated in Georgia and includes scattered activity in Texas and Missouri. Given the absence of salted shrimp in any recent opportunity narrative and the consistent focus on whole fresh produce, mainstream proteins, and commodity grocery items across all posted solicitations, this code does not currently represent a meaningful procurement category for state and local government food service.
