UNSPSC 50122016: Wild caught cod

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Cod, 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 50122016 Wild caught cod is a Commodity code that describes fresh or frozen cod products delivered to state and local institutions, but the recent state and local procurement activity shows strong emphasis on processed fish products—principally fish sticks—and seafood components supplied as part of broader school nutrition and food service contracts. State and local buyers under this code include state departments of administrative services, county boards of education, and regional school food authorities procuring protein supplies for institutional meal programs. The work involves supplying specification-compliant seafood products in bulk quantities with delivery included in all-inclusive pricing, subject to Buy American provisions, HACCP food safety compliance, documented traceability and recall procedures, general liability insurance of at least $500,000 per occurrence, and E-Verify verification for vendor personnel.

Georgia's Department of Administrative Services and multiple Georgia school districts account for the recent activity. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services issued RFQ 92100ERFQ0020702027 on October 6, 2026 for fish sticks to Georgia Correctional Industries, with bids due October 12, 2026, requiring delivery in 40,000-pound increments through the GA@Work portal; Hancock County Board of Education School Nutrition Program issued IFB SN002-2027 on June 9, 2026 for grocery and food service supplies including seafood items, with bids due June 26, 2026 and opening June 29, 2026; Early County Board of Education issued a food bid on May 11, 2026 for approximately 300 food items across meats, poultry, and seafood, due June 8, 2026; and Richmond County Board of Education in Augusta issued RFQ #26-204 on April 27, 2026 for grocery products including frozen fish items across the 2026-2028 school years, due May 27, 2026. All Georgia school district procurements restrict pricing to firm terms ranging from three to sixty days post-award, prohibit separate fuel or freight surcharges, and require adherence to federal Buy American thresholds for domestic agricultural content.
