UNSPSC 50122071: Wild caught basa

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Basa, 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 50122071 Wild caught basa is a Commodity code that names a single product line within seafood procurement, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect purchasing of wild caught basa. Instead, the block shows active solicitations for broad food distribution, grocery supply, and school nutrition programs across Georgia that encompass proteins, produce, dairy, and prepared foods as part of comprehensive meal-service procurement—not basa specifically. The issuing bodies span school districts (Houston County, Hancock County, Early County, Lamar County, Richmond County, Dougherty County, Treutlen County, Decatur City Schools, Douglas County), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), a state agency (State of Georgia), an economic development authority (Invest Atlanta), and a regional cooperative (GEC Buying Cooperative). The geographic concentration is overwhelmingly Georgia, with all recent opportunities posted between January and July 2026 originating from state agencies or Georgia school districts and municipalities.

The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and recent procurement activity. Representative recent opportunities illustrate the broader pattern: Houston County School District issued ITB 27-001 on March 13, 2026, for direct delivery of food, paper, and chemicals across 39 schools with an estimated $14 million annual value and 350,000 cases annually (bid due April 17, 2026); Douglas County School System issued RFP 26-003 on January 21, 2026, for food supply and distribution services supporting 32,500 students across 32 schools with approximately $9 million annual spend (proposals due February 18, 2026); and Invest Atlanta issued a dual-track RFP on July 6, 2026, for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations in Atlanta's Priority Communities, with separate tracks for retail grocery operators and food distributors (proposals due August 6, 2026). State and local procurement under this code focuses on food service logistics, warehousing, and distribution infrastructure rather than sourcing of specific seafood species. Firms pursuing this code should recognize that recent activity reflects integrated food-service contracting where basa would appear, if at all, as one line item within comprehensive proteins sourcing, not as a standalone commodity focus.
