In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Halibut, 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 50122031 Wild caught halibut is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fish and seafood products for institutional feeding programs, correctional facilities, school nutrition services, and retail food operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing fish and fish-based proteins—including fish sticks and fresh seafood—as components of larger food procurement contracts for school districts, correctional industries, and municipal food distribution networks. The work spans both direct commodity procurement (fish products delivered in bulk quantities) and integrated food-service supply chains where halibut and similar proteins appear as line items within comprehensive grocery and meal-preparation contracts. Issuing bodies include state departments of administrative services, county boards of education, city economic development authorities, and correctional agencies; school districts are the dominant repeat buyer in the recent activity.

Georgia's Department of Administrative Services and multiple Georgia school districts—Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Richmond County Board of Education—have posted solicitations between May and October 2026 that include seafood and protein procurement. Georgia dominates the recent activity; the state's correctional industries procurement (Georgia Department of Administrative Services, fish sticks, RFQ 92100ERFQ0020702027, due October 12, 2026) and three separate school nutrition food bids (Hancock County IFB #SN002-2027 due June 26, 2026; Early County due June 8, 2026; Richmond County RFQ #26-204 due May 27, 2026) all reference fish or seafood proteins as specified line items. Invest Atlanta's dual-track food distribution and municipal market RFP (due August 6, 2026) indicates broader institutional demand for seafood sourcing through food distributors serving Priority Communities. School district contracts uniformly mandate Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP certification, E-Verify verification, and firm pricing including all transportation; delivery typically occurs Monday through Friday during morning hours to multiple school locations.
