UNSPSC 50122033 Wild caught hoki is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh and frozen fish products procured by state and local education agencies to support school nutrition programs. State and local governments buying under this code are almost exclusively school districts across Georgia sourcing protein items for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The work consists of line-item procurement of frozen hoki and other seafood products delivered to school sites, typically as part of broader food-supply solicitations that also include poultry, beef, dairy, produce, and non-food supplies. School districts issue Invitations for Bid (IFBs) and Requests for Quotation (RFQs) organized by commodity category, with hoki and similar frozen fish appearing as discrete line items in the protein or frozen-entree sections. Vendors must comply with USDA Grade A standards, Child Nutrition labeling requirements, whole-grain or equivalent specifications where applicable, Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed seafood), HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, and E-Verify authorization. Delivery windows are typically 6:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, with all packing and transportation costs included in unit pricing and no separate fuel surcharges permitted. Contract terms run July 1 through June 30 annually with optional one- to four-year renewal periods.
