UNSPSC 50122106: Farm raised blue marlin

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Blue Marlin, that was farm raised and harvested as an adult, and is not presumed to have grown as an organic and Non GMO species.

UNSPSC 50122106 Farm raised blue marlin (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being procured under this code in recent state and local solicitations. The recent opportunities block shows no bids or RFPs for farm-raised blue marlin or any aquaculture products. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code document procurement for mainstream school nutrition supplies, municipal grocery retail operations, and institutional food distribution—frozen proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and shelf-stable goods typical of institutional foodservice. The code assignment appears mismatched to the actual commodities being solicited.

State and local governments posting under this code are primarily school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County, Lamar County, Dougherty County, Treutlen County, Houston County, Douglas County, and City Schools of Decatur in Georgia), supplemented by a state-level solicitation from the State of Georgia, a county correctional and senior services buyer (Gwinnett County), and an economic development entity (Invest Atlanta) seeking food distribution and retail grocery operations. The geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia, with all fifteen recent opportunities originating from Georgia school systems, state procurement, or county purchasing offices. Representative solicitations include the Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct delivery of food, paper, and chemicals (posted March 13, 2026; due April 17, 2026; approximately $14 million annually); the Dougherty County Board of Education's IFB for groceries supporting the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs (posted April 13, 2026; due May 19, 2026; serving 22 schools with 300+ line items); the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services (posted January 21, 2026; due February 18, 2026; approximately $9 million annually across 32 schools); and Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution and municipal market retail operations (posted July 6, 2026; due August 6, 2026). All school solicitations require Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, liability insurance, E-Verify verification, and firm fixed pricing including delivery. The code shows no recent activity aligned to its nominal commodity scope and should not be pursued based on current market activity.
