UNSPSC 50122044 Wild caught opah is a Commodity code that represents fresh and frozen seafood products procured by state and local jurisdictions, though the recent solicitation activity under this code shows minimal direct alignment with opah procurement. State and local buyers in the dataset source seafood primarily as an embedded line item within broader food-supply contracts for school nutrition programs and municipal food distribution, not as a dedicated product category. School districts across Georgia—including Houston County, Hancock County, Early County, Lamar County, Richmond County, Dougherty County, Treutlen County, and the City Schools of Decatur—have posted invitations for bid (IFBs) and requests for quotation (RFQs) for comprehensive grocery and food service supplies covering proteins, produce, dairy, and grains, with seafood (typically listed as "fish," "seafood," or frozen pollock) appearing as one line item among hundreds in itemized bid lists rather than as a standalone procurement. The issuing bodies are exclusively school districts and boards of education; no county, city, state agency, or special-purpose district procurement appears in the recent dataset under this code.

Georgia school districts dominate the recent activity, with concentrated procurement from the Atlanta metropolitan area (Decatur, Douglas County, Gwinnett County, Dougherty County, Houston County) and rural districts (Early County, Hancock County, Lamar County, Treutlen County). The State of Georgia has also issued a broad IFB for food supplies across state agencies and institutions (posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026), and Invest Atlanta issued a dual-track RFP for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations (posted July 6, 2026, due August 6, 2026) that includes fresh seafood within its supply-chain requirements for a full-service municipal grocery market. Representative recent school-nutrition procurements include Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct delivery of food, paper, and chemicals (posted March 13, 2026, due April 17, 2026) with an estimated annual value of approximately $14 million across 350,000 cases, and Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026) with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million. Wild caught opah does not appear by name in any recent solicitation summary; seafood is sourced generically as a commodity protein within larger consolidated grocery procurement rather than as a targeted specialty item.
