UNSPSC 50122049 Wild caught rockfish is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh and frozen seafood products supplied to state and local institutions, principally school districts and county governments purchasing through food service procurement. Recent state and local opportunities under this code show school districts and state agencies sourcing seafood—particularly rockfish and other finfish—as components of broader grocery and food-service supply contracts serving school lunch programs, correctional facilities, and institutional food service operations. The issuing bodies are predominantly Georgia school districts (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, Houston County School District, Douglas County School System) alongside state agencies and county purchasing offices. School nutrition programs represent the dominant buyer segment, with districts issuing IFBs and RFPs for multi-year food supply contracts that bundle proteins including fresh and frozen fish products alongside produce, dairy, and grain items; fish typically appears as one line item or category within larger solicitations rather than as a standalone procurement.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, where recent opportunities span central, south-central, and northern jurisdictions including Houston County, Dougherty County, Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County, Lamar County, Decatur, Douglas County, and Gwinnett County, plus statewide procurements by the State of Georgia. Representative recent solicitations include Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct delivery food, paper, and chemicals (posted March 13, 2026, due April 17, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for grocery and food service supplies across multiple categories including seafood products (posted June 9, 2026, due June 26, 2026). Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services with estimated annual expenditure of approximately nine million dollars (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026). School districts typically require firm pricing that includes transportation, compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content for processed foods), HACCP plans, food safety certification, and liability insurance; contracts run July through June annually with optional multi-year renewals. No recent opportunities in the source explicitly isolate wild-caught rockfish as a standalone or primary procurement line, suggesting the code applies at the commodity level within broader institutional food-service purchasing rather than as a dedicated vendor category in current state and local notices.
