UNSPSC 50122023 Wild caught dover sole is a Commodity code that encompasses frozen and fresh seafood products procured by state and local school districts, county boards of education, and municipal food service authorities across Georgia. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show activity focused primarily on school nutrition programs sourcing proteins for meal service; however, the opportunities in the source block reveal that dover sole itself appears minimally in recent competitive procurements, with broader seafood procurement typically embedded within comprehensive food supply contracts that specify proteins generically or by category rather than by specific species. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education—Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education, Lamar County School District, City Schools of Decatur, Dougherty County Board of Education, Houston County School District, and Douglas County School System—along with state-level procurement (State of Georgia) and municipal economic development authorities (Invest Atlanta). Approximately 90 percent of recent activity has concentrated in school nutrition program food service delivery across multiple product categories, where seafood is typically one line item among hundreds of food and non-food products in annual invitations for bid.

Georgia dominates the geographic footprint of recent activity under this code, with procurement notices posted from February through July 2026 spanning north-central, south-central, and metro Atlanta jurisdictions. Representative recent opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for School Nutrition Grocery Supplier with a June 26, 2026 bid deadline covering over 1,200 line items across proteins, produce, dairy, and non-food supplies to three school locations; the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (due February 18, 2026) seeking a main-line food distributor serving 32 schools with approximately $9 million estimated annual expenditure; and Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct delivery of food, paper, and chemical supplies (due April 17, 2026) valued at approximately $14 million annually with an estimated 350,000 cases annually. Bidders in school nutrition procurements must comply with Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content for food products), maintain HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, carry liability insurance of at least $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence, and meet E-Verify and federal debarment requirements. Pricing must include all packing and transportation with no fuel surcharges permitted, and contract terms typically run July 1 through June 30 annually with renewal options.
