UNSPSC 50122053: Wild caught snapper

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Snapper, 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 50122053 Wild caught snapper, a Commodity code, covers fresh and frozen seafood products purchased by state and local governments, though the recent solicitation activity reflects broader school nutrition procurement patterns centered on comprehensive grocery and food-service supply contracts rather than seafood-specific sourcing. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code span school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County, Lamar County, City Schools of Decatur, Dougherty County, Treutlen County, Houston County, Douglas County in Georgia), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County), state agencies (State of Georgia), and municipal economic development authorities (Invest Atlanta). The actual work being solicited includes full-service food distribution, grocery retail operation, and direct delivery of packaged and fresh food items to school nutrition programs, institutional cafeterias, and municipal markets; seafood products, when present, appear as line items within larger mixed-commodity food procurements rather than standalone specialty sourcing.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, with IFBs and RFPs posted from February through July 2026 across school districts in Hancock, Early, Richmond, Lamar, Decatur, Dougherty, Treutlen, Houston, and Douglas counties, plus state-level and Atlanta municipal solicitations. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 (bid due June 26, 2026) for grocery and food-service supplies across multiple school sites, Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct food delivery valued at approximately $14 million annually with 350,000 estimated cases annually (bid due April 17, 2026), Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services supporting approximately 32,000 meals daily with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 (proposal due February 18, 2026), and Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations (response due August 6, 2026). Qualification thresholds across these solicitations consistently require five years of relevant food service or distribution experience, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, Buy American compliance (51 percent domestic agricultural content), E-Verify authorization, general liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000, and adherence to USDA Child Nutrition standards including whole-grain specifications and sodium limits.
