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 does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity indexed under it. The source records show that the code has been applied to school nutrition food service procurement, municipal grocery market operations, and general food supply contracts across Georgia jurisdictions, but none of the opportunities reference bluefin tuna specifically or any wild-caught seafood products. Instead, solicitations emphasize frozen protein items, canned goods, fresh produce, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees meeting USDA Child Nutrition standards and whole-grain and sodium-limit mandates. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests either a cataloging misalignment in the procurement system or that bluefin tuna procurement, if it occurs at all in state and local procurement, is minimal and not surfacing in recent activity.

The recent opportunities are concentrated among Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Lamar County, Richmond County, City Schools of Decatur, Dougherty County, Treutlen County, Houston County, and Douglas County), the State of Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, and Invest Atlanta. School nutrition program food supply contracts dominate the record, issued as IFBs and RFPs with bid deadlines between February and August 2026, typically calling for multi-category direct delivery or warehouse delivery with annual contract values ranging from millions of dollars (Houston County's $14 million annually, Douglas County's $9 million for food supply alone) to smaller district-level procurements. The Houston County School District Food Bid (ITB 27-001, due April 17, 2026) exemplifies the market: a $14 million annual procurement for approximately 350,000 cases annually across 39 schools with mandatory weekly delivery and a minimum 95% fill rate. Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP (due August 6, 2026) stands apart, seeking both a municipal grocery market retail operator and food distributors with 10% Georgia-sourced product requirements and workforce development mandates. Given the code's misalignment with actual procurement, pursuing opportunities under 50122008 is not advisable without first confirming accurate code assignment with the relevant procurement office.
