UNSPSC 50122029: Wild caught haddock

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Haddock, 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 50122029 Wild caught haddock is a Commodity code identifying a single seafood product line. State and local governments procuring under this code are primarily school districts buying food products for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations, along with state agencies, county departments, and municipal entities sourcing groceries for institutional feeding. The scope of activity under the code is narrow and specialized—haddock appears as one line item within broader seafood or protein categories in multi-category food solicitations rather than as a standalone procurement driver. Recent opportunities frame haddock as part of comprehensive food supply contracts serving school nutrition programs; for example, Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct delivery of food and chemical supplies (due April 17, 2026) and Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution (due February 18, 2026) both encompass protein categories that would include frozen or fresh fish products. The issuing bodies are predominantly Georgia school districts—Houston County, Douglas County, Dougherty County, Early County, Hancock County, Lamar County, Richmond County, and City Schools of Decatur—supplemented by the State of Georgia and a municipal food-distribution initiative (Invest Atlanta). The pattern shows school nutrition program procurement as the dominant buyer type, with occasional supplemental purchases by county departments and state institutional operations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with all recent posted opportunities originating from Georgia school districts and state agencies between January and July 2026. The state's school districts conduct annual or multi-year cycles of competitive sealed-bid procurement (IFB) and request-for-proposal (RFP) solicitations for food products, typically with response deadlines in spring (February through June) and contract terms running July 1 through June 30. Representative recent opportunities include Houston County School District's direct-delivery food procurement valued at approximately $14 million annually with an estimated 350,000 cases annually (ITB due April 17, 2026), Douglas County School System's main-line food distributor contract with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 serving 32 schools (RFP due February 18, 2026), and Dougherty County Board of Education's grocery procurement covering approximately 300 line items across multiple food categories for 22 school sites (IFB due May 19, 2026). These large school district contracts and state-level food procurements establish the primary demand stream for wild-caught haddock and other seafood products under this code.
