UNSPSC 50122035: Wild caught kingklip

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Kingklip, 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 50122035 Wild caught kingklip is a Commodity code that nominally covers fish species, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code bears little relation to the code's abstract scope. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services solicited fish sticks (not whole kingklip) for Georgia Correctional Industries as an RFQ with a response deadline of October 12, 2026, requiring 40,000-pound increments and all-inclusive delivery pricing submitted through the GA@Work portal. The other recent opportunities tagged to this code are school nutrition and municipal food-service procurement — grocery suppliers, food distributors, and school lunch program vendors across Georgia and Atlanta — none of which involve kingklip or wild-caught fish as a primary procurement category. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices are applying this code to general food-service contracting rather than to the specific commodity (wild-caught kingklip) the code nominates.

The recent opportunities cluster around school districts and state agencies in Georgia. Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB for school nutrition grocery and food service supplies with a June 26, 2026 deadline; Early County Board of Education and Richmond County Board of Education (Augusta) each issued competitive food bids for school-year 2026–2027 and 2026–2028 respectively. Invest Atlanta issued a dual-track RFP for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations in Priority Communities (proposals due August 6, 2026). The State of Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. All solicitations emphasize Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, food safety certification, firm pricing inclusive of transportation, and multi-item line-by-line or category-based bidding structures common to school lunch and institutional food service. Geographic concentration is limited to Georgia based on available records. This code shows active state and local procurement but with a significant disconnect between the code's nominal commodity definition and the actual scope of work being solicited.
