UNSPSC 50122008: Wild caught bluefin tuna

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Bluefin 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 50122008 Wild caught bluefin tuna is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local activity, does not align with the actual work being solicited under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve fish sticks (a processed frozen product), general grocery procurement for school nutrition programs, food distribution services, and municipal market operations—none of which represent wild caught bluefin tuna procurement. The Georgia Department of Administrative Services solicitation for fish sticks delivered to Georgia Correctional Industries, the Hancock County Board of Education grocery supplier RFQ spanning over 1,200 line items, the Richmond County Board of Education grocery products RFQ for 2026–2028, and the Early County Board of Education line-by-line food bid all involve commodity food procurement broadly defined, but none specify or require fresh or frozen bluefin tuna as a line item. The issuing bodies are primarily state departments and school districts (county boards of education) seeking to fill recurring nutrition and food-service supply contracts, not specialty seafood procurement.

The geographic spread of recent activity clusters in Georgia, with the Department of Administrative Services, Hancock County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education (Augusta), Early County Board of Education, and Invest Atlanta (Atlanta) all posting opportunities between April and October 2026. The representative recent opportunities include Georgia DAS's RFQ for fish sticks (due October 12, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for school nutrition grocery and food service supplies with bids due June 26, 2026, Richmond County Board of Education's RFQ #26-204 for grocery products 2026–2028 with submission due May 27, 2026, and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026. None of these solicitations identify bluefin tuna—wild caught or otherwise—as a required or sought commodity. The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears misaligned with the state and local procurement activity it currently spans.
