UNSPSC 50122070: Wild caught barramundi

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Barramundi, 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 50122070 Wild caught barramundi (Commodity) does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually purchasing under this code. The recent opportunities tagged with this code involve fish sticks, grocery distribution, school nutrition supplies, and institutional food procurement—none of which are wild-caught barramundi specifically. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services is soliciting fish sticks for Georgia Correctional Industries; Invest Atlanta is seeking food distributors and retail grocery operators; and multiple school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County) are procuring comprehensive food service supplies including proteins, produce, dairy, and non-food items for student nutrition programs. The code's nominal scope—a single wild-caught protein product—does not align with the institutional bulk-food procurement and supply-chain management work these jurisdictions are conducting. State and local buyers under this classification are soliciting from school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and municipal food systems, but the actual products being purchased span broad commodity categories rather than a narrow species-specific fish product.

School districts dominate the recent activity, with Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Richmond County Board of Education each issuing IFBs and RFQs for school-year food procurement between May and June 2026. Georgia state agencies (Department of Administrative Services and Invest Atlanta) account for the remaining activity. Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia; no recent opportunities from other states appear in the record. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 29, 2026 bid opening) covering over 1,200 food and non-food line items across three schools under Buy American and HACCP compliance; Richmond County Board of Education's RFQ #26-204 (due May 27, 2026) for frozen, cooler, and dry-storage grocery products for school year 2026–2028 with firm pricing through June 30, 2028; and Georgia Department of Administrative Services' fish sticks RFQ (due October 12, 2026) for 40,000-pound increments delivered to Georgia Correctional Industries. All school district solicitations require E-Verify compliance, general liability insurance ($500,000 minimum per occurrence), HACCP food safety plans, and adherence to USDA Buy American and Child Nutrition label standards.
