UNSPSC 50122002: Wild caught albacore tuna

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Albacore Tuna, that was raised in the wild and harvested as an adult, and is presumed to have grown as an organic and Non GMO species.

UNSPSC 50122002 Wild caught albacore tuna is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity describes institutional food service procurement for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and municipal food distribution operations — not exclusively wild-caught albacore but rather frozen fish products and comprehensive grocery procurement that includes seafood as one line item among many. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services solicited fish sticks (increments of 40,000 pounds) for Georgia Correctional Industries; Hancock County Board of Education and Early County Board of Education both issued IFBs for school nutrition suppliers covering proteins, produce, dairy, and non-food supplies across 300+ line items; and Richmond County Board of Education in Augusta issued an RFQ for grocery products spanning frozen, refrigerated, and dry-storage categories including fish and seafood products. The code sees activity from state agencies, county school districts, and special-purpose districts focused on supplying institutional meal programs; issuing bodies include Georgia Department of Administrative Services, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Richmond County Board of Education.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Georgia — specifically fish stick procurement for correctional industries (due October 12, 2026), school nutrition contracts across multiple county boards, and a statewide grocery and kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026). Georgia's State of Georgia issued a standalone food, supplies, and kitchen products IFB in May 2026. The school district opportunities in Hancock, Early, and Richmond Counties, all in Georgia, reflect recurring annual or multi-year contracts running through June 2027 or 2028, with line-by-line item bidding and Buy American compliance requirements. Invest Atlanta's dual-track food distribution and municipal retail operations RFP (due August 6, 2026) represents broader economic development activity but focuses on distribution logistics and retail operations rather than commodity supply. The code shows narrow recent activity and appears misaligned with the wild-caught albacore framing — the actual work solicited is bulk institutional food service supply and school nutrition contracting, with seafood as one component of much broader grocery procurement.
