UNSPSC 50122053 Wild caught snapper is a Commodity code that covers protein-based food products for institutional feeding programs — though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show minimal direct procurement of snapper itself. Instead, the code appears in bids for institutional food supply contracts that encompass broad protein categories, including fish sticks and other seafood items as line items within larger food-service portfolios. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts, correctional facilities, and development authorities managing food retail or distribution in designated communities. The recent opportunities show school nutrition programs (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education) and state-level institutional procurement (Georgia Department of Administrative Services on behalf of Georgia Correctional Industries) dominating the activity; Invest Atlanta's municipal market and food distributor RFP represents a smaller but structurally distinct track targeting commercial food distribution to priority neighborhoods rather than direct institutional consumption. The scope reflects highly itemized, multi-line-item procurement with firm all-inclusive pricing (delivery and freight bundled), compliance with Buy American provisions for school lunch programs, and strict HACCP, food safety certification, and insurance requirements across all respondents.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. The Georgia Department of Administrative Services solicited fish sticks for correctional industries (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020702027, due October 12, 2026, 40,000-pound increments delivered). Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB for over 1,200 line-item grocery and food-service supplies across seven categories including proteins and seafood, due June 26, 2026, with three-location delivery and sixty-day firm pricing. Early County Board of Education bid 300-plus food items plus non-foods, due June 8, 2026. Richmond County Board of Education in Augusta requested quotations for three-year grocery procurement (frozen, cooler, and dry products including seafood lines), due May 27, 2026, with weekly or bi-weekly F.O.B. delivery to individual schools and three-month firm pricing from July 1, 2026. Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for retail grocery market operation and food distribution services (proposals due August 6, 2026) mandates Georgia-sourced product minimums and represents a longer-term, higher-complexity procurement spanning five years for retail and three years for distribution. The code shows little activity outside Georgia in the source; the recent-opportunity block does not support characterization of procurement in other states or regions.
