UNSPSC 50122030: Wild caught hake

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Hake, 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 50122030 Wild caught hake, a Commodity code, rarely appears in recent state and local procurement activity, and when it does surface, it is typically embedded in much broader food-service solicitations focused on school nutrition or correctional-facility feeding rather than hake specifically. The single directly relevant opportunity — Georgia's Department of Administrative Services' October 2026 RFQ for fish sticks to supply Georgia Correctional Industries — does not specify hake as a required ingredient or sourcing standard; the solicitation requires only that fish sticks comply with attached specifications and be delivered in 40,000-pound increments with all costs included in the bid price. State and local governments procure food items under this code through school districts, state agencies, and county nutrition programs, but the actual demand signal for wild-caught hake as a line-item commodity remains minimal in visible opportunities. Issuing bodies in the recent record include school boards (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education), state purchasing departments (Georgia Department of Administrative Services), and economic-development authorities (Invest Atlanta), with the overwhelming majority of food-procurement activity falling under broader categories such as generic grocery supplies, proteins, or foodservice products rather than specific seafood species.

The geographic concentration of recent opportunities is entirely within Georgia, reflected in solicitations from the state purchasing office, multiple school districts (Hancock, Early, and Richmond counties), and Atlanta-based agencies. No opportunities in other states appear in the recent record. Representative recent solicitations include the Georgia Department of Administrative Services' IFB for fish sticks due October 12, 2026 (Solicitation 92100ERFQ0020702027) for Georgia Correctional Industries; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for school nutrition grocery supplies due June 26, 2026 (Solicitation PE67080NONST2027000000008), which encompasses over 1,200 line items across multiple protein, produce, and supply categories; and Richmond County Board of Education's RFQ for grocery products due May 27, 2026 (Solicitation PE72110NONST2027000000059), covering frozen, refrigerated, and dry-storage food items for school years 2026–2028. The hake code does not appear as a standalone procurement driver; vendors pursuing seafood or protein-supply opportunities under this code should expect to compete as one item within much larger, multi-category food-service awards.
