UNSPSC 50122021: Wild caught dogfish

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Dogfish, 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 50122021 Wild caught dogfish is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity currently solicited under it in state and local government. Recent opportunities tagged with this code overwhelmingly procure fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy products, proteins, grains, paper and chemical supplies, and related food-service items for school nutrition programs, municipal food distribution operations, and state agency cafeterias—not dogfish or other seafood specifically. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and active purchasing suggests either broad miscoding of food-commodity solicitations or obsolete taxonomy alignment within state procurement systems.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing bodies, with recent activity concentrated in Georgia, including Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County, Lamar County, the City Schools of Decatur, Dougherty County, Treutlen County, Houston County, and Douglas County school systems. The State of Georgia and city/county governments including Invest Atlanta, Gwinnett County, and others also solicit under this code. Representative recent opportunities include Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct food delivery across 39 schools (due April 17, 2026) valued at approximately $14 million annually; Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution serving 32 schools with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million (closed February 18, 2026); and Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations in Priority Communities (due August 6, 2026). School nutrition procurement activity is consistent, recurring, and annually cyclical, typically with contract periods running July through June and bids due in late winter through spring; activity appears most concentrated in Georgia but the code itself carries no decision-relevant geographic exclusivity.
