UNSPSC 50121904: Fermented anchovy sauce

Pickle salted anchovies.

UNSPSC 50121904 Fermented anchovy sauce is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy miscellaneous shelf-stable food products under this code as components of broader institutional food service procurement, though fermented anchovy sauce itself appears in few recent solicitations. The code sits within food-supply buys for correctional facilities, state hospitals, supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, Texas), state health and human services commissions (Texas), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), independent school districts (Northside ISD, Texas), county public schools (Ben Hill County, Burke County), and municipal boards of education (Bridgeport, Connecticut). Among these, correctional departments are repeat buyers, with Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Department of Corrections, and Illinois Department of Corrections each posting multiple food-service RFQs and ITBs; Texas Health and Human Services Commission also issues multiple RFPs across its state hospital and supported living center network.

Recent opportunities show that state and local governments procure general food supplies—proteins, dairy, condiments, prepared foods, produce, staples, and beverages—under this code's broader family. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables with quotes due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017905 for approximately 2,856 cases of tomato ketchup with bids due September 16, 2026, subject to a combined 10% preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-resident bidders; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660V2 for approximately 100 line items of food and supplies to Big Spring State Hospital with bids due August 28, 2026. Activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with additional activity in Illinois and scattered school districts nationwide. No recent opportunities in the block explicitly reference fermented anchovy sauce; the code's recent activity is dominated by mainstream institutional food categories such as proteins, oils, sauces, condiments, and prepared meals rather than specialty condiments.
