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 is a Commodity code representing a single seafood product line, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show no solicitations actually seeking tilapia or any wild-caught fish products. Instead, the tagged opportunities overwhelmingly focus on comprehensive food supply and distribution for school nutrition programs, municipal food markets, and state agency food procurement — encompassing proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and non-food supplies across hundreds of line items per solicitation. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual buying activity suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement system or that tilapia represents one unspecified item within much larger food-service contracts. A business development professional pursuing tilapia supply should treat this code as unreliable for targeting active opportunities and instead monitor solicitations from school districts, state agencies, and food distributors through broader food-service channels.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs from Houston County School District, Dougherty County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Douglas County School System, Lamar County School District, Hancock County Board of Education, and Treutlen County School Food Authority across Georgia, alongside state-level food procurement (State of Georgia IFB Food IFB #1 2027-2026, posted April 20, 2026, due June 1, 2026) and municipal food-system development (Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations, posted July 6, 2026, due August 6, 2026). School nutrition contracts typically require sealed bid responses or RFPs with firm pricing, compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, food safety certification, minimum insurance coverage of $500,000 to $1,000,000 general liability, and E-Verify authorization. Contracts run July 1 through June 30 with annual renewal options. All activity in the recent-opportunities block is concentrated in Georgia, with no opportunities posted from other states.
