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 (Commodity) shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's scope—seafood products sourced from wild fisheries—does not align with the actual buying patterns documented in recent opportunities, which overwhelmingly focus on institutional food service procurement for schools, local governments, and community development initiatives across Georgia.

State and local bodies soliciting under the code include school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County, Lamar County, City Schools of Decatur, Dougherty County, Treutlen County, Houston County, Douglas County), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County), transit or special-purpose districts (none identified), and state agencies (State of Georgia), as well as municipal development entities (Invest Atlanta). The representative opportunities are school nutrition programs issuing IFBs and RFPs for comprehensive food service supply—Houston County School District ITB 27-001 for direct food delivery (posted March 13, 2026, due April 17, 2026, valued at approximately $14 million annually); Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026, estimated $9 million annually); and Dougherty County Board of Education IFB for groceries (posted April 13, 2026, due May 19, 2026). These solicitations specify proteins, produce, dairy, grains, frozen items, and staple products meeting USDA and Child Nutrition standards, but do not reference wild-caught eel or specialty seafood sourcing. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with no documented opportunities from other states. The code appears to be a mismatch for the institutional food procurement market, where standard commodity classifications for proteins dominate.
