UNSPSC 50122110: Farm raised carp

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

UNSPSC 50122110 Farm raised carp is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, captures processed fish products — primarily fish sticks and frozen seafood items — supplied to institutional food service operations including correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and municipal food distribution networks. State and local governments are procuring farm-raised fish under this code as components of larger food service contracts rather than as standalone commodity purchases. The issuing bodies represent a mix of state purchasing offices, county boards of education, and municipal economic development authorities. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services, school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education), and Invest Atlanta are the primary recent buyers. Scope typically encompasses frozen fish products meeting USDA Grade A standards, Child Nutrition label requirements, whole-grain and reduced-sodium specifications where applicable, and domestic sourcing preferences under Buy American provisions. Contracts require HACCP compliance, food safety certifications, product traceability, recall procedures, and liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, reflecting multiple school districts and state agencies soliciting food service supplies during the second and third quarters of 2026. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services issued IFB 92100ERFQ0020702027 for fish sticks delivered in 40,000-pound increments to Georgia Correctional Industries with responses due October 12, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education released IFB #SN002-2027 for grocery and food service supplies including seafood items due June 26, 2026; and Richmond County Board of Education issued RFQ #26-204 for grocery products spanning frozen fish categories for the 2026–2028 school years with a May 27, 2026 deadline. Early County Board of Education and Invest Atlanta (which is developing municipal grocery markets in Atlanta's Priority Communities) issued parallel food procurement solicitations in May and July 2026. State and local pricing is all-inclusive of freight and delivery with no separate fuel surcharges permitted; bid prices typically remain firm for 60 days to three months, with contract terms running July 1 through June 30 for school-year cycles and multi-year terms for institutional food service agreements.
