UNSPSC 50122067: Wild caught arctic char

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Arctic Char, 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 50122067 Wild caught arctic char is a Commodity code that frames seafood procurement narrowly, yet the state and local opportunities actually posted under it reveal a much broader scope: state and local agencies are buying prepared fish products, general grocery supplies, and food-service provision across institutional contexts rather than raw arctic char specifically. The most recent solicitations show school districts, correctional systems, and economic-development authorities procuring fish sticks, bulk grocery items, and food-distribution services. Issuing bodies span state departments (Georgia Department of Administrative Services), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education in Augusta), city-affiliated development entities (Invest Atlanta), and state-level institutional purchasing (Georgia Correctional Industries). The code's nominal specificity—wild caught arctic char—does not align with the actual category of work being solicited, which encompasses prepared seafood products and general institutional food procurement rather than raw arctic char sourcing.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services issued an IFB for fish sticks (40,000-pound increments) for Georgia Correctional Industries with a response deadline of October 12, 2026. Richmond County Board of Education issued RFQ #26-204 for grocery products including frozen fish items for the 2026–2028 school years with bids due May 27, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education requested IFB bids on grocery and food-service supplies with over 1,200 line items, including proteins and seafood, due June 26, 2026. Early County Board of Education solicited food and non-food products across approximately 300 line items, including seafood and meats, due June 8, 2026. Invest Atlanta issued a dual-track RFP for food distribution services and retail grocery operations due August 6, 2026, encompassing sourcing and supply-chain management. The code shows material recent activity but reflects a mismatch between its nominal commodity definition and the broader institutional food-procurement category under which opportunities are being tagged; buyers pursuing this code should evaluate whether the actual work—prepared seafood products and institutional food provisioning—aligns with their capability and supply chain.
