UNSPSC 50122044: Wild caught opah

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Opah, 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 50122044 Wild caught opah is a Commodity code. State and local governments do not buy wild caught opah directly under this code in recent solicitations. The most recent opportunities posted under 50122044 involve fish sticks, grocery products for school nutrition programs, food distribution services, and municipal market retail operations—none of which specify opah as a procurement item. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services solicited fish sticks for Georgia Correctional Industries (IFB 92100ERFQ0020702027, due October 12, 2026), but the specification sheet and scope documents do not identify the fish species or confirm opah content. The Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Richmond County Board of Education all issued IFBs and RFQs for comprehensive school nutrition suppliers covering proteins, produce, dairy, and non-food supplies without naming opah or wild-caught seafood as a line item. Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations (PE66789NONST2027000000021, due August 6, 2026) mandates that food distributors source a minimum 10% of product volume from Georgia-based producers but does not reference opah or wild-caught fish procurement.

The code shows minimal decision-relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. School districts in Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, and Richmond County) and state agencies (Georgia Department of Administrative Services) dominate recent solicitations, but their buys emphasize standardized commodity proteins—frozen beef, chicken, pork, fish sticks, and dairy—with USDA Grade A certification and whole-grain compliance rather than specialty or wild-caught species. No jurisdiction has posted a solicitation naming opah, wild-caught varieties, or specialty seafood procurement under this code in the recent-opportunities block. Buyers requiring fish products specify fish sticks, frozen seafood commodities, or generic "seafood" categories rather than single species. Unless opah represents a de minimis line item within broader fish-stick or frozen-fish procurements not named in the opportunity summaries, the code generates little actionable procurement signal for vendors focused on wild-caught opah supply.
