UNSPSC 50122048: Wild caught rainbow trout

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Rainbow Trout, 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 50122048 Wild caught rainbow trout is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant state and local procurement activity based on recent opportunities. The code nominally covers a single aquaculture product line, but the recent opportunities posted under this code substantially diverge from wild-caught trout procurement. Instead, they document broad grocery and food distribution services spanning produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods for school nutrition programs, municipal food markets, and state agency operations. The actual buying under these posted solicitations encompasses fresh and frozen vegetables, fruits, meats and poultry, dairy products, snacks, beverages, and paper and chemical supplies — categories that sit at much higher levels of the UNSPSC taxonomy than wild-caught seafood. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent IFBs and RFPs from Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education, Lamar County School District, City Schools of Decatur, Dougherty County Board of Education, Treutlen County School Food Authority, and Houston County School District. Georgia state agencies and municipal entities also appear, including the State of Georgia food procurement, Invest Atlanta (food distribution and municipal market retail operations), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners for supplemental groceries.

The geographic spread is heavily concentrated in Georgia, reflecting activity from school districts across the state and state-level procurements. Representative recent opportunities illustrate the mismatch with the code's nominal scope: Houston County School District issued ITB 27-001 for direct delivery of food, paper, and chemicals to approximately 39 schools (posted March 13, 2026, due April 17, 2026, valued at approximately $14 million annually); Douglas County School System issued RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026); and Invest Atlanta issued an RFP for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations (posted July 6, 2026, due August 6, 2026). The code shows recent activity volume in state and local procurement, but the opportunities tagged under it do not match wild-caught rainbow trout procurement — they represent general grocery supply and food service distribution covering commodities far broader than a single seafood product line. Bidders evaluating this code should verify whether the opportunities actually require trout supply or whether the tagging reflects administrative classification errors in the source data.
