In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Lake Whitefish, 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 50122037 Wild caught lake whitefish is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity documented under this classification. The source identifies seventeen recent opportunities tagged to this code, but none solicit wild caught lake whitefish or any seafood products; instead, they overwhelmingly procure comprehensive food supply and grocery services for school nutrition programs, municipal food distribution networks, and state institutional feeding operations across Georgia.

The actual procurement activity under this code centers on multi-category food service contracting for school districts, county boards of education, state agencies, and special-purpose districts seeking direct-delivery suppliers, warehouse distributors, and food service operators capable of managing 300-plus line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, grains, frozen items, condiments, paper supplies, and non-food products. Issuing bodies include school districts (Houston County, Hancock County, Early County, Lamar County, Richmond County, Dougherty County, Treutlen County, City Schools of Decatur), county boards (Gwinnett County), state-level procurement (State of Georgia), and regional economic development authorities (Invest Atlanta). The procurement mix reflects IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs with firm pricing, Buy American compliance mandates, HACCP plans, insurance requirements, and competitive sealed-bid processes. Recent opportunities include Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct delivery of food, paper, and chemicals due April 17, 2026, valued at approximately $14 million annually; Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000, due February 18, 2026; and Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations due August 6, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with all documented opportunities sourced from state agencies, county school systems, and municipalities within the state. The systematic mismatch between the commodity code (wild caught lake whitefish) and the solicitation scope suggests a classification error in the source data; vendors pursuing these opportunities should verify the actual commodity taxonomy before planning pursuit activity.
