UNSPSC 50122068: Wild caught atlantic mackerel

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Atlantic Mackerel, 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 50122068 Wild caught atlantic mackerel is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service and institutional feeding operations. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reveal minimal direct procurement of mackerel itself; instead, they reflect school districts, county boards of education, and state procurement offices soliciting comprehensive grocery and food supply contracts that encompass proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and ancillary food service items under consolidated commodity purchasing. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent IFBs and RFPs from Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education in Augusta, Lamar County School District, City Schools of Decatur, Dougherty County Board of Education, Treutlen County School Food Authority, and Houston County School District, all seeking direct-delivery or warehouse-delivery food suppliers for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. The State of Georgia has posted two separate food procurement solicitations, and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued a supplemental grocery bid. Invest Atlanta diverges from the school nutrition focus by soliciting food distributors and retail grocery operators for municipal market operations in Priority Communities.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, with all identified recent opportunities issued by Georgia-based jurisdictions between late January and early July 2026. Representative school nutrition procurements include Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct delivery of food, paper, and chemical supplies posted March 13, 2026, with bids due April 17, 2026 and an estimated annual value of approximately $14 million; Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 posted May 11, 2026 with response due June 8, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for grocery and food service supplies for School Year 2026-2027 with bids due June 26, 2026. The Invest Atlanta RFP (PE66789NONST2027000000021) issued July 6, 2026, with proposals due August 6, 2026, represents a distinct opportunity tier, seeking food distributors with five-year commercial experience, current FSMA compliance, and capacity to service multiple metro Atlanta accounts while sourcing a minimum 10% volume from Georgia producers. School nutrition contracts uniformly mandate Buy American compliance (51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed foods), HACCP plans, food safety certification, and delivery within specified temperature and timing windows to individual school sites.
