UNSPSC 50122012: Wild caught chilean sea bass

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Chilean Sea Bass, 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 50122012 Wild caught Chilean sea bass is a Commodity code that does not reflect state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code nominally describes a single seafood product, yet the recent solicitations tagged under it cover broad food service procurement across school nutrition programs, municipal food distribution, and state agency food services — encompassing proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and non-food supplies rather than wild-caught fish species. The mismatch between code scope and actual buying patterns suggests tagging misalignment or that this code is used as a catch-all for food product categories in some state and local procurement systems.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent RFPs and IFBs from Houston County, Hancock County, Early County, Lamar County, Dougherty County, Richmond County, Treutlen County, and City Schools of Decatur — all in Georgia. State agencies, municipal governments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles also appear: the State of Georgia issued food bids, Invest Atlanta released a dual-track RFP for food distribution and retail market operations, Gwinnett County issued a supplemental groceries procurement, and the Douglas County School System used the GEC Buying Cooperative to solicit fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with no recent opportunities outside the state appearing in the block. Representative solicitations include Houston County School District's April 2026 ITB 27-001 for direct delivery food, paper, and chemicals (valued at approximately $14 million annually with 350,000 cases annually, due April 17, 2026); Douglas County School System's February 2026 RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution (estimated annual expenditure $9 million, due February 18, 2026); and Invest Atlanta's July 2026 RFP for municipal food distribution and retail market operations (due August 6, 2026). Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and liability insurance in the $500,000 to $2 million range are standard across solicitations, with most contracts running July 1 through June 30 with renewal options up to five years total.
