UNSPSC 50122025: Wild caught eel

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Eel, 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 50122025 Wild caught eel is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of processed fish products and grocery staples for institutional food service, though recent solicitations show the code is applied primarily to school nutrition supply chains rather than wild-caught eel specifically. State and local governments buying under this code are acquiring bulk quantities of frozen and refrigerated food items—fish sticks, proteins, dairy, produce, and accompanying non-food supplies such as cleaning products and disposables—for delivery to schools, correctional facilities, and municipal food distribution programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education), state agencies (Georgia Department of Administrative Services), and economic development entities (Invest Atlanta). School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with districts managing National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program procurement under strict federal compliance, Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, and whole-grain and sodium specifications tied to USDA dietary guidelines.

Recent solicitations span Georgia and surrounding states. Georgia Department of Administrative Services issued IFB 92100ERFQ0020702027 for fish sticks (40,000-pound increments) to Georgia Correctional Industries, due October 12, 2026, requiring all-inclusive pricing and electronic submission through the GA@Work portal. Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB #SN002-2027 for over 1,200 line-item grocery and food service supplies across seven categories, due June 26, 2026, with delivery to three schools and firm pricing through June 30, 2027. Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line food and non-food bids for three schools, due June 8, 2026, emphasizing domestic sourcing and low-sodium formulations. Richmond County Board of Education (Augusta, Georgia) issued RFQ #26-204 for grocery products across frozen, cooler, and dry storage categories for school years 2026–2028, due May 27, 2026, with firm pricing through June 30, 2028 and optional one-year renewals. Invest Atlanta's July 2026 RFP PE66789NONST2027000000021 tracked food distribution and municipal market retail operations in Priority Communities, a distinct economic development vehicle offering grants and low-interest financing. The code shows no recent wild-caught eel purchases; activity centers on standardized school and institutional food supply.
