UNSPSC 50122019: Wild caught cusk

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Cusk, 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 50122019 Wild caught cusk, a Commodity-level code, covers the supply of wild-caught cusk fish to state and local government purchasers. Recent solicitation activity shows that state and local buyers under this code are predominantly school districts and county boards of education procuring seafood products as part of broader school nutrition program food service contracts. The work being solicited encompasses the supply of frozen or fresh cusk and related seafood products meeting USDA standards, whole-grain and nutrition compliance requirements, and Child Nutrition labeling specifications as line items within comprehensive food service bids that typically span proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and non-food supplies. School districts in Georgia—including Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County, Lamar County, Dougherty County, Treutlen County, Houston County, and Douglas County—represent the primary issuing bodies, along with the State of Georgia itself and city school systems such as Decatur and Invest Atlanta's municipal market operations.

Recent procurement activity for this commodity code is concentrated in Georgia, where school districts have issued multiple IFBs and RFPs throughout spring 2026 for food supply contracts covering fiscal year 2026–2027 and beyond. Representative solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) for over 1,200 line items of grocery and food service supplies delivered to three school locations, Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) covering approximately 300 food items across meats, poultry, seafood, and dairy, and Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct delivery of food, paper, and chemical supplies (due April 17, 2026) to approximately 39 schools with an estimated annual procurement value of approximately $14 million and 350,000 cases. All school nutrition procurements mandate compliance with Buy American provisions requiring over 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, and delivery to multiple school sites on fixed or flexible schedules. The code shows active but non-dominant recent activity—cusk appears as a line item within broader seafood and protein categories in school nutrition contracts rather than as a standalone procurement focus.
