UNSPSC 50122055: Wild caught sturgeon

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Sturgeon, 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 50122055 Wild caught sturgeon is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show little alignment with wild sturgeon procurement; instead, they reflect a much broader school nutrition and institutional food supply market. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services solicited fish sticks for correctional facilities in October 2026 (IFB 92100ERFQ0020702027, due October 12, 2026), delivered in 40,000-pound increments. Hancock County Board of Education and Early County Board of Education each issued comprehensive school nutrition grocery bids covering over 1,200 line items and 300+ items respectively—proteins, produce, dairy, grains, beverages, condiments, and non-food supplies across multiple school sites. Richmond County Board of Education in Augusta sought grocery products for 2026–2028 including frozen meats, poultry, fish, pork, and frozen prepared items alongside refrigerated and dry storage products. Invest Atlanta issued an RFP for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations, with a dual-track structure inviting both grocery retail operators and food distributors serving Priority Communities. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education, with state departments and economic development authorities also buying. Commodity codes in the food procurement space receive the heaviest activity from school nutrition programs tied to National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance.

Recent opportunities concentrate in Georgia—five of six solicitations originated there. Hancock County Board of Education (Commodity, June 2026), Early County Board of Education (May 2026), Richmond County Board of Education (April 2026), and the State of Georgia (May 2026) all issued school nutrition and institutional food bids. Invest Atlanta's municipal market RFP (July 2026) targets Atlanta Priority Communities with retail and distribution components. Contract terms typically run one to three years with renewal options; all school nutrition bids mandate Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content), HACCP plans, E-Verify verification, and general liability insurance at $500,000 per occurrence. Pricing must be firm and include freight and delivery with no separate fuel surcharges; invoices are paid within thirty days of receipt. The code's recent activity reflects institutional and school food procurement rather than commercial wild-catch sturgeon supply, suggesting a tagging or scoping mismatch in the state procurement database.
