UNSPSC 50122037: Wild caught lake whitefish

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, a Commodity code, covers prepared fish products delivered to institutional food service operations — specifically frozen fish sticks and breaded fish products supplied to correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and municipal food distribution networks. State and local governments buy prepackaged, ready-to-cook fish items under this code rather than raw whitefish. Soliciting bodies include state departments (Georgia Department of Administrative Services), county school boards (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education), and economic development entities (Invest Atlanta). School nutrition programs dominate recent activity, with multiple simultaneous IFB and RFQ solicitations across Georgia's K-12 districts for fish products as part of comprehensive food-service supplier bids covering 1,200+ line items, proteins, dairy, produce, and non-food supplies. Correctional industries also source under this code, as evidenced by Georgia's Department of Administrative Services RFQ for fish sticks to supply Georgia Correctional Industries. Delivery is F.O.B. to school sites or institutional kitchens on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, with all-inclusive pricing that embeds transportation and fuel; separate surcharges are not permitted. Vendors must maintain HACCP certification, food safety compliance, traceability and recall systems, and comply with Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content).

Georgia dominates recent posting activity in this code. Representative recent opportunities include Georgia Department of Administrative Services RFQ 92100ERFQ0020702027 for fish sticks for Georgia Correctional Industries with a response deadline of October 12, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for school nutrition supplies including fish products with a June 29, 2026 bid opening; Early County Board of Education food bid (due June 8, 2026) encompassing seafood products across three schools; and Richmond County Board of Education RFQ #26-204 for grocery products including frozen fish items with a May 27, 2026 deadline. Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP (PE66789NONST2027000000021, due August 6, 2026) for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations in Atlanta's Priority Communities includes food-supply sourcing, though the broader RFP scope spans grocery retail operation and logistics rather than fish products in isolation. Contract periods typically run July 1 through June 30 of the following year, with options to extend or renew, and pricing must remain firm for 60–90 days from bid opening.
