UNSPSC 50122030 Wild caught hake is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh and frozen seafood products for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and municipal market retail operations. Recent solicitations show the code tracking seafood as a line item within broader grocery and food-service procurements rather than as a standalone category; school districts across Georgia are sourcing protein items including fish and seafood products as part of their National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program supply chains, with wild caught hake appearing as one protein option among many in itemized bid lists. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County, Lamar County, City Schools of Decatur, Dougherty County, Treutlen County, Houston County, and Douglas County) and state agencies (State of Georgia food procurement), with food distribution services sought by municipal economic development entities (Invest Atlanta) and county general government departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners). School districts dominate activity under this code, issuing IFBs and RFPs for direct-delivery and warehouse-delivery food supplies on annual or multi-year contract cycles aligned to fiscal-year procurement calendars.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with all named opportunities from school districts and state entities in Georgia counties including Hancock, Early, Richmond, Lamar, Decatur, Dougherty, Treutlen, Houston, Douglas, and statewide procurement. Representative solicitations include Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 SNP Food Bid (posted March 13, 2026, due April 17, 2026) seeking direct delivery of food, paper, and chemical supplies to 39 schools with approximately $14 million annual estimated value and 350,000 cases annually; Dougherty County Board of Education's IFB for Groceries (posted April 13, 2026, due May 19, 2026) encompassing approximately 300 line items delivered to 22 school sites; and Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026) seeking a main-line distributor to supply approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with approximately $9 million estimated annual expenditure. Vendors must meet Buy American requirements (51 percent domestic agricultural content for food products), maintain HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, carry liability insurance of $500,000 to $1 million per occurrence, and comply with E-Verify authorization. Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 with optional renewal terms up to four additional one-year periods.
