UNSPSC 50122049: Wild caught rockfish

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Rockfish, 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 50122049 Wild caught rockfish, a Commodity code, covers fish and seafood products supplied to state and local institutions, but recent activity under this code shows predominantly processed fish products rather than fresh rockfish. State and local governments procure frozen fish sticks, fresh fish for school nutrition programs, and seafood components as part of broader food-service supply contracts for correctional facilities, schools, and municipal food distribution initiatives. The issuing bodies include state departments of administrative services, county boards of education, school districts, and economic development authorities. Vendors respond to IFB, RFQ, and RFP notices that typically require all-inclusive pricing with delivery, USDA compliance certifications, food safety and traceability documentation, and Buy American provisions where applicable. Bid responses must detail specification compliance in writing rather than using checkmarks or generic affirmations, and successful bidders must maintain HACCP plans, general liability insurance of at least $500,000 per occurrence, E-Verify authorization, and food recall accessibility.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, where Georgia's Department of Administrative Services issued IFB 92100ERFQ0020702027 on October 6, 2026 for 40,000-pound increments of fish sticks to supply Georgia Correctional Industries (response deadline October 12, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 9, 2026 for school nutrition grocery supplies including fish and seafood items across multiple categories and 1,200+ line items to three school locations (response deadline June 26, 2026); Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 encompassing meats, poultry, seafood, and dairy products for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program (response deadline June 8, 2026); Richmond County Board of Education issued RFQ #26-204 on April 27, 2026 for grocery products including frozen fish and seafood items for the 2026–2028 school years (response deadline May 27, 2026); and Invest Atlanta issued a dual-track RFP on July 6, 2026 for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations that includes sourcing and supplying fish and seafood as part of a full-service distribution network serving Priority Communities (proposal deadline August 6, 2026). School districts dominate the procurement volume, with most contracts running July through June fiscal years and allowing price escalation or de-escalation on a six-month basis supported by USDA or Consumer Price Index documentation.
