UNSPSC 50122074: Wild caught sablefish

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Sablefish, 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 50122074 Wild caught sablefish is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities tagged under it do not reflect procurement of wild-caught sablefish. Instead, state and local governments are using this code to solicit fish sticks and broader food service supplies for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and municipal food distribution operations. The scope of work being solicited ranges from pre-packaged fish sticks (40,000-pound increments for Georgia Correctional Industries) to comprehensive grocery and food service supply contracts for school districts covering proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and non-food kitchen supplies. Issuing bodies include state departments (Georgia Department of Administrative Services), county school boards (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education), and municipal development authorities (Invest Atlanta). School nutrition programs are the dominant recent buyer type under this code, with multiple districts seeking suppliers across the 2026–2027 school year and into 2028.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, where the Department of Administrative Services solicited fish sticks (IFB 92100ERFQ0020702027, due October 12, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education sought grocery and food service supplies (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), Early County Board of Education posted a food and non-food products bid (due June 8, 2026), and Richmond County Board of Education in Augusta issued Request for Quotation #26-204 for grocery products covering 2026–2028 (due May 27, 2026). Atlanta's Invest Atlanta issued a dual-track RFP for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations (due August 6, 2026), seeking Category B food distributors with five years of commercial food distribution experience and sourcing requirements for Georgia-based producers. The code shows limited relevant recent activity overall; the mismatch between the code's stated commodity (wild-caught sablefish) and the actual solicitations (predominantly fish sticks, school meal supplies, and food distribution services) signals a potential tagging error in the underlying procurement databases.
