UNSPSC 50122017: Wild caught coho salmon

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Coho Salmon, 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 50122017 Wild caught coho salmon is a Commodity code that covers fresh and frozen wild salmon species sold to state and local government food-service buyers, though recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing a much broader spectrum of seafood and general grocery procurement rather than coho salmon specifically. State and local food-service buyers—school districts, county boards of education, state agencies, and municipal authorities—use this code to tag solicitations for fresh and frozen protein, produce, dairy, grains, and prepared foods supplied to school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and institutional cafeterias. The mix of issuing bodies spans Georgia school districts of varying size (Houston County School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Lamar County School District, Early County Schools, Richmond County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, Treutlen County School Food Authority, City Schools of Decatur, Douglas County School System), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), the State of Georgia, and municipal entities (Invest Atlanta). School districts appear as the dominant repeat buyer, with most solicitations supporting National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance through line-by-line food bids organized by product category—dairy, produce, frozen items, proteins, grains, condiments, and paper/chemical supplies.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, with at least seventeen posted opportunities from February through July 2026 spanning school nutrition procurement, municipal market development, and institutional food supply. Representative recent solicitations include Houston County School District's direct-delivery food bid (ITB 27-001, bid due April 17, 2026, valued at approximately $14 million annually) and Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution services (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026, estimated annual expenditure approximately $9 million). School nutrition solicitations typically impose Buy American requirements (51% domestic agricultural content), HACCP plan submission, USDA Child Nutrition standards compliance including whole-grain and sodium specifications, E-Verify authorization, and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence. Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for municipal grocery market operations and food distribution services (due August 6, 2026) represents an outlier, seeking retail operators and distributors serving low-income Priority Communities with incentives including low-interest loans and cold-storage grants. Bid submission methods vary—sealed bids via mail or hand delivery on USB flash drives in Excel format are standard for school district procurements, while some authorities use eProcurement portals. Price-adjustment mechanisms commonly permit economic escalation tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Bureau of Labor Statistics indices, with mid-contract price adjustments required to show third-party market documentation. Contract terms typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options extending up to five years total.
