UNSPSC 50122057: Wild caught tilapia

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Tilapia, 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 50122057 Wild caught tilapia, a Commodity code, maps poorly to the state and local opportunities recently posted under it. The code's nominal scope—wild-caught tilapia as a specific protein product—does not align with the actual work state and local governments are buying: the recent opportunities solicited fish sticks (a processed product), comprehensive school nutrition grocery supply contracts spanning 300+ food items across proteins, dairy, produce, and non-food supplies, and municipal food distribution and retail grocery operations. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services and school districts in Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, and Richmond County) are the visible repeat buyers, along with Invest Atlanta for food distribution and market retail. The scope of work under these postings encompasses frozen and refrigerated proteins, fresh and canned produce, dairy products, grains, condiments, and supporting supplies—delivered to correctional facilities, school cafeterias, and municipal grocery markets—rather than wild-caught tilapia as a discrete commodity line.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with five of six posted opportunities from Georgia state agencies or Georgia school districts. The most recent is Georgia's Department of Administrative Services' fish sticks solicitation (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020702027, due October 12, 2026), seeking 40,000-pound increments for Georgia Correctional Industries with all-inclusive delivery pricing submitted via the GA@Work portal. Other representative opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education's multi-category IFB for school nutrition supplies across 1,200+ line items (due June 26, 2026), Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food and non-food bid for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs (due June 8, 2026), and Richmond County Board of Education's RFQ for grocery products 2026–2028 covering frozen, refrigerated, and dry storage items (due May 27, 2026). Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations (due August 6, 2026) represents the only multi-state outreach signal, requiring distributors to source a minimum 10% of food volume from Georgia-based producers at contract start. The code shows little relevant recent activity for wild-caught tilapia as a standalone procurement line.
