UNSPSC 50122051 Wild caught skate (Commodity) describes seafood proteins that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition and institutional food service channels. Recent solicitations show the code capturing frozen fish products — particularly fish sticks — supplied to correctional facilities, school districts, and municipal food distribution networks. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services solicited fish sticks for Georgia Correctional Industries (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020702027, due October 12, 2026) in 40,000-pound increments with all-inclusive delivery pricing and detailed specification-sheet compliance. School districts including Hancock County Board of Education (IFB #SN002-2027, June 2026) and Early County Board of Education (June 2026) issued line-item bids for seafood proteins as part of broader school lunch program procurement. Issuing bodies under this code span state correctional and food service departments, county school boards, and municipal economic development authorities like Invest Atlanta, which is recruiting food distributors to supply priority-community retail markets. Institutional buyers — correctional systems, school nutrition programs, and municipal food retail operations — dominate the recent activity rather than commercial foodservice.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Georgia, with solicitations from the state department level, multiple school districts, and Atlanta-based municipal procurement. Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Richmond County Board of Education (RFQ #26-204, May 2026) all solicited frozen seafood and fish products for school-year supply contracts running July through June. Georgia's statewide food solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, May 2026) encompassed kitchen products and food supplies with scope details in an attached specification document. Pricing structures across recent opportunities require all-inclusive bids with freight and delivery embedded in unit costs, no separate fuel surcharges, and firm pricing for 60 to 90 days post-award. Federal compliance mandates include Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content), HACCP plans, liability insurance ($500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence), E-Verify authorization, and food safety certifications. Contract terms typically run one school or fiscal year with optional renewal periods.
