UNSPSC 50122007: Wild caught blue mussel

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Blue Mussel, 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 50122007 Wild caught blue mussel is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fresh produce and seafood items under this code as components of broader grocery and food service solicitations, typically bundled with other protein, produce, and staple categories rather than as standalone line items. Recent opportunities show that mussels and other seafood appear within larger food service contracts for school nutrition programs, municipal markets, and institutional dining operations, where they compete for inclusion against frozen proteins, canned goods, fresh produce, and processed entrees. Issuing bodies purchasing under this code span Georgia school districts (both individual districts and multi-district cooperatives), county school systems, city school systems, state agencies, and municipal economic development authorities. School nutrition programs represent the dominant buyer segment, with supplemental procurement from county corrections facilities and senior services centers. A small number of opportunities reference procurement through cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative, which pools demand across multiple districts to achieve volume pricing.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, with the most visible opportunities from Houston County School District (April 2026 direct-delivery and warehouse-delivery food bids valued near $14 million annually), Douglas County School System (February 2026 RFP for food supply and distribution valued at approximately $9 million annually and January 2026 RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts in a cooperative structure), Dougherty County Board of Education (April 2026 IFB for approximately 300 grocery line items), and several other Georgia school districts issuing overlapping fiscal 2027 food bids in March and April 2026. Invest Atlanta (July 2026 dual-track RFP for retail grocery market operations and food distribution in Priority Communities) and Hancock County Board of Education (June 2026 IFB for over 1,200 line items) represent additional significant buyers. Mussels and other seafood products are not explicitly named in the available solicitation summaries; this code shows little decision-relevant recent activity as a standalone commodity and appears misaligned with the school nutrition and municipal grocery procurement activity that dominates the source material.
