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 that names a specific seafood product line, yet the recent state and local opportunities do not reflect procurement of wild caught sablefish itself. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code primarily solicit comprehensive grocery and food service supplies for school districts, county governments, and municipal food distribution programs across Georgia. The actual buying encompasses fresh produce, frozen proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, paper products, and chemical supplies—with sablefish appearing incidentally, if at all, within broader line-item food catalogs rather than as a dedicated procurement focus. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with individual districts (Houston County, Dougherty County, Early County, Hancock County, Lamar County, City Schools of Decatur, Richmond County, Treutlen County, Douglas County, and Lamar County) conducting repeated seasonal buys through IFBs and RFQs for annual nutrition programs. The State of Georgia and Invest Atlanta also appear as state-level and municipal buyers, along with Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners for supplemental grocery purchases. This fragmentation across multiple school districts reflects decentralized procurement rather than concentration among a few repeat buyers.

Georgia dominates the geographic footprint, with all fourteen recent opportunities posted between January and July 2026 originating from Georgia state agencies, counties, cities, and school districts. Most solicitations target the 2026-2027 school year with response windows between February and August 2026. Representative opportunities include Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 (posted March 13, 2026, due April 17, 2026) for direct food delivery valued at approximately $14 million annually across 39 schools; Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution services at approximately $9 million annually; Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP (posted July 6, 2026, due August 6, 2026) for food distribution and municipal grocery market retail operations in Atlanta's Priority Communities; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 (posted June 9, 2026, due June 26, 2026) spanning over 1,200 line items for school nutrition across three schools. The code's tagging appears to be a systematic misalignment—procurement offices are using the wild caught sablefish Commodity code to organize broader food supply contracts where sablefish may be one of hundreds of line items or may not appear at all.
