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 that classifies a niche seafood product with minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The source contains no solicitations directly requesting wild caught sturgeon; instead, the opportunities listed under this code are school nutrition food bids and grocery procurement covering broad product categories (meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, produce, grains, and non-food supplies) where seafood may appear as one line item among hundreds. School districts across Georgia—Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County, Lamar County, Decatur, Dougherty County, Treutlen County, Houston County, and Douglas County—have issued IFBs and RFPs for annual school nutrition programs, with estimated annual food expenditures ranging from approximately $4.4 million (Douglas County fresh produce and eggs for a 30-district cooperative) to $14 million (Houston County direct delivery), but none of these solicitations identifies wild caught sturgeon as a specified or primary procurement target. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact; state and local procurement under these notices emphasizes domestic agricultural sourcing preferences, USDA Child Nutrition compliance, whole-grain and low-sodium specifications, Buy American provisions requiring over 51 percent domestic content for processed foods, and commodity-based school lunch programs that source commodity proteins and frozen products rather than specialty wild-caught seafood.

Recent activity clusters heavily in Georgia school districts and county boards of education issuing sealed-bid invitations for fiscal year 2026-2027 school nutrition programs between January and July 2026, with response deadlines ranging from February through August 2026. A representative opportunity is Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 (issued March 13, 2026, due April 17, 2026) for direct delivery of food, paper, and chemicals serving approximately 39 schools and 31,000 students with an estimated $14 million annual procurement and 350,000 annual cases. Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 (issued January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026) sought a main-line food distributor for approximately $9 million annual expenditure across 32 schools. Atlanta's Invest Atlanta (July 6, 2026, due August 6, 2026) issued a dual-track RFP for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations in Priority Communities, with separate categories for retail grocery operators and food distributors requiring 10 percent Georgia-sourced product volume at contract start and a path to 20 percent within 24 months. The code shows no indication of active, specialized wild caught sturgeon procurement by state or local buyers; pursuit would be misaligned with documented market activity.
