UNSPSC 50122107: Farm raised blue mussel

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

UNSPSC 50122107 Farm raised blue mussel is a Commodity code that reflects state and local government procurement of fresh seafood and aquaculture products for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and municipal markets. The recent opportunities show school districts and county boards of education as the primary issuing bodies, with solicitations structured around direct-delivery food service contracts that bundle seafood procurement with broader grocery, protein, and produce sourcing. State agencies and municipal development authorities also appear as buyers, though the specific opportunities tied to this code show minimal direct reference to mussels or other shellfish in isolation; instead, they reflect broader food procurement where seafood competes within multi-category product lists. School districts in Georgia dominate the recent activity, issuing IFBs and RFPs for comprehensive food service supply covering proteins (including fresh and frozen fish, poultry, and beef), produce, dairy, and dry goods on annual or multi-year contracts.

The geographic concentration is heavily Georgia-focused, with recent solicitations from Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education, Lamar County School District, City Schools of Decatur, Dougherty County Board of Education, Treutlen County School Food Authority, Houston County School District, and Douglas County School System, alongside state-level food procurement and the Invest Atlanta municipal grocery market initiative. The most recent representative opportunities include the Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 (posted March 13, 2026, due April 17, 2026) seeking direct delivery of food, paper, and chemical supplies with an estimated $14 million annual spend across approximately 350,000 cases, and the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026) for a main-line food service distributor supplying approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated $9 million annual expenditure. Both contracts emphasize Buy American compliance (51% domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans, temperature-controlled delivery, and firm pricing with no fuel surcharges. The code shows active procurement velocity but limited direct targeting of mussels as a standalone line item; seafood appears as one protein category within bundled grocery contracts, and shellfish sourcing at the commodity level remains obscured within broader food distribution awards.
