UNSPSC 50122069: Wild caught barracuda

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Barracuda, 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 50122069 Wild caught barracuda is a Commodity code that sees limited direct sourcing in state and local procurement, but state and local school districts and state agencies do procure seafood products—including fish and barracuda where they appear on approved vendor lists—as components of broader food service and school nutrition supply contracts. The recent opportunities block shows no standalone barracuda sourcing; instead, school nutrition RFPs and IFBs list barracuda indirectly as one allowable protein option within comprehensive grocery, entree, and fresh protein categories. The actual buying pattern reflects school systems' need for USDA-compliant, whole-grain-forward, low-sodium meal components sourced through prime food distributors and direct-delivery suppliers rather than commodity-specific procurement.

State and local issuing bodies—school districts across Georgia (Houston County, Douglas County, Dougherty County, Early County, Hancock County, Lamar County, Richmond County, and City Schools of Decatur), the State of Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, and Invest Atlanta—are actively procuring food services, but barracuda does not feature as a named line item in any of the recent IFBs, RFPs, or RFQs posted between January and July 2026. School nutrition programs prioritize frozen and fresh proteins (beef, chicken, pork, turkey, ground beef, and generic "fish" items meeting USDA and Child Nutrition label standards), with acceptable-equal language allowing vendors to propose alternatives. The code shows no recent standalone or category-specific barracuda opportunities and carries minimal procurement signal in this dataset. Vendors supplying specialty or imported seafood to state or local food service operations would need to position barracuda through prime distributor or direct-delivery contracts that explicitly allow vendor product substitution or approved-equal proposals within broader protein categories, typically with questions-and-answers cycles and samples due before bid opening.
