UNSPSC 50122043: Wild caught mullet

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Mullet, 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 50122043 Wild caught mullet is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual buying activity in recent state and local procurement. The code nominally names a single seafood product, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification overwhelmingly solicited comprehensive food service and grocery supply contracts—school nutrition programs, municipal market operations, and state agency food procurement—in which wild caught mullet, if procured at all, would represent a minor line item among hundreds of others. The Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs, the Houston County School District ITBs for direct food delivery and warehouse supplies, the Dougherty County Board of Education grocery bid, and the Hancock County Board of Education school nutrition IFB all contain extensive food categories spanning proteins, produce, dairy, grains, beverages, and non-food supplies, with no specific mention of wild caught mullet as a distinguishing or primary commodity. The issuing bodies are predominantly Georgia school districts and boards of education—including Hancock County, Early County, Lamar County, Richmond County, Dougherty County, Houston County, Treutlen County, and the City Schools of Decatur—with supplemental activity from the State of Georgia and local economic development entities such as Invest Atlanta. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners and the Douglas County School System appear as repeat buyers under the code across multiple recent solicitations.

The recent opportunities show heavy concentration in Georgia, with all posted opportunities originating from Georgia school districts, county boards of education, the State of Georgia, and Atlanta-area municipal and economic development agencies. Representative recent solicitations include the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for School Nutrition Grocery Supplier (due June 26, 2026), the Houston County School District ITB 27-001 for direct food delivery valued at approximately $14 million annually (due April 17, 2026), the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million (due February 18, 2026), and Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations in Priority Communities (due August 6, 2026). The code's application to these opportunities appears to be a cataloging artifact rather than a meaningful match to commodity-level purchasing intent. Bidders should verify the actual scope of work required before committing resources, as successful performance typically demands comprehensive food service distribution and supply-chain capabilities far broader than wild caught mullet procurement alone.
