UNSPSC 50122047: Wild caught pompano

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Pompano, 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 50122047 Wild caught pompano is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers a single seafood product, but the recent opportunities posted under this code address broad food service procurement — fish sticks for correctional facilities, grocery supply for school nutrition programs, municipal food distribution services, and general institutional kitchen supplies — none of which are specifically pompano or even predominantly wild-caught seafood products. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code serves as a catch-all for seafood and prepared-food procurement when more granular codes are unavailable or not used consistently in state and local systems.

Recent activity shows school districts and state agencies as the dominant buyers. The Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Richmond County Board of Education in Georgia all issued IFBs and RFQs for comprehensive school nutrition supply contracts in May and June 2026, each encompassing hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, dairy, and non-food products delivered to multiple school locations. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services posted an RFQ for 40,000-pound increments of fish sticks to supply Georgia Correctional Industries (due October 12, 2026), and the State of Georgia itself posted a food and kitchen products bid in May 2026. Invest Atlanta issued a dual-track RFP in July 2026 for food distribution and retail grocery operations in Priority Communities, representing a different buyer model focused on economic development. Activity is concentrated in Georgia, with no recent opportunities identified outside the state in the source material. School nutrition procurement dominates the volume, with firm compliance requirements including HACCP plans, Buy American provisions, E-Verify verification, liability insurance minimums, and delivery to designated school sites on fixed schedules. Pricing typically must be all-inclusive with no separate fuel surcharges, and contracts generally run one to three years with optional renewals tied to performance.
