UNSPSC 50122024: Wild caught drum

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Drum, 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 50122024 Wild caught drum, a Commodity code, encompasses fish and seafood products sourced from wild capture fisheries that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, correctional facility operations, and school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing fish primarily in processed forms—fish sticks for Georgia Correctional Industries, whole fish and seafood proteins for school lunch programs across multiple districts, and food distribution services that include wild-caught seafood as supply-chain inputs. The issuing bodies span state departments, county and district school boards, municipal development authorities, and correctional agencies. Georgia appears as a repeat buyer, with the Georgia Department of Administrative Services soliciting fish sticks for Georgia Correctional Industries and the State of Georgia posting broader food and kitchen products procurements; Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Richmond County Board of Education in Georgia also solicit seafood and protein items as part of school nutrition bids. The code's activity reflects institutional purchasing patterns where seafood enters supply chains either as finished food products (fish sticks) or as bulk proteins distributed through food-service vendors.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia, with secondary activity in municipal food-distribution initiatives. The Georgia Department of Administrative Services issued Solicitation 92100ERFQ0020702027 for 40,000-pound increments of fish sticks for Georgia Correctional Industries, with responses due October 12, 2026, requiring all-inclusive pricing and PDF submission through the GA@Work portal. Hancock County Board of Education posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 9, 2026 (responses due June 26, 2026) for comprehensive school nutrition supplies including proteins and seafood across multiple line items and three school locations. Early County Board of Education sought line-by-line food bids including seafood items for the National School Lunch Program with a June 8, 2026 deadline. Richmond County Board of Education in Augusta posted RFQ #26-204 on April 27, 2026 (due May 27, 2026) for 2026–2028 grocery products including frozen fish and protein items for school delivery. Invest Atlanta's RFP for food distribution services (posted July 6, 2026, due August 6, 2026) sought Category B food distributors required to source and supply food products including seafood to municipal grocery markets, with mandates for Georgia-based producer sourcing and metro Atlanta operational capacity.
