UNSPSC 50122048 Wild caught rainbow trout is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh and processed seafood products state and local governments procure for institutional food service, primarily school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and municipal food distribution operations. The recent opportunities under this code show that state and local buyers are sourcing fish and seafood products—including fish sticks, whole fish, and fillets—as components of larger food service supply contracts rather than as standalone commodity buys. Issuing bodies include state departments of administrative services, county school boards, city economic development authorities, and state purchasing offices. School districts dominate the activity: Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Richmond County Board of Education have all posted food service procurement RFQs and IFBs in the past six months that include seafood line items alongside proteins, produce, and non-food supplies. Georgia appears as the primary geographic concentration, with multiple school districts and state-level procurement activity. A correctional agency (Georgia Correctional Industries) has posted a dedicated fish sticks procurement through Georgia's Department of Administrative Services, signaling institutional demand beyond education.

Recent representative opportunities include Georgia Department of Administrative Services' RFQ 92100ERFQ0020702027 for fish sticks delivery in 40,000-pound increments to Georgia Correctional Industries, with responses due October 12, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for school nutrition grocery and food service supplies across seven categories including proteins and seafood, due June 26, 2026; and Richmond County Board of Education's RFQ #26-204 for grocery products for school years 2026–2028, due May 27, 2026, which explicitly includes frozen fish and seafood items. All school district solicitations require Buy American compliance (domestic agricultural content over 51 percent for food products), HACCP plans, food safety certification, liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $1,000,000, and E-Verify verification. Pricing structures mandate all-inclusive bids with delivery and transportation embedded in unit prices; no separate fuel surcharges are permitted. Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 with optional renewal terms. Invest Atlanta's food distribution RFP (PE66789NONST2027000000021), posted July 6, 2026, seeks distributors with a minimum 10% Georgia-sourced product requirement and capacity to supply multiple metro Atlanta accounts, offering grants for refrigerated fleet procurement and workforce development for Category B distributors.
