UNSPSC 50122045: Wild caught orange roughy

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Orange Roughy, 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 50122045 Wild caught orange roughy is a Commodity code that sees virtually no direct procurement activity in recent state and local government solicitations. The code nominally describes a specific seafood product—wild-caught orange roughy—yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly seeking this species or equivalent wild-caught fish inventory. State and local procurement under this code, if any exists, occurs at negligible volume or remains unmapped in current opportunity feeds. The sourcing patterns visible in school nutrition and food service procurement across Georgia, which dominates the recent-opportunities dataset, show demand for frozen and fresh proteins generically specified, with fish and seafood mentioned only as broad categories (e.g., "fish" or "proteins") without species-level itemization, let alone targeting of orange roughy.

The absence of substantive recent activity under this code signals either that wild-caught orange roughy is not a procurement priority within state and local food service contracts, or that when seafood is sourced, it is purchased under higher-tier UNSPSC families that capture generic fish and seafood rather than single species. School districts, county food authorities, and state agencies dominating the recent Georgia solicitations—including Houston County School District (ITBs 27-001 and 27-002, posted March 2026), Dougherty County Board of Education (IFB May 2026), City Schools of Decatur (IFB May 2026), and the State of Georgia (IFB June 2026)—procure frozen and fresh protein broadly, with no visible preference signals or line-item specifications for orange roughy. This code merits a skip unless your firm has prior customer relationships with specific jurisdictions or institutional buyers known to specify wild-caught orange roughy in their nutrition programs.
