UNSPSC 50122113: Farm raised chinook salmon

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

UNSPSC 50122113 Farm raised chinook salmon (Commodity) covers fresh and frozen salmon products supplied to state and local institutions, though the recent solicitation activity under this code shows little direct chinook salmon procurement. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily purchasing food products for institutional foodservice — correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and municipal food distribution operations. The recent opportunities reveal that while the code nominally designates chinook salmon, actual state and local activity encompasses broader grocery and prepared-food categories including fish sticks (a processed fish product), frozen proteins, dairy, produce, and non-food foodservice supplies. School districts and state purchasing offices are the dominant issuing bodies, supplemented by specialized economic-development entities managing food-access initiatives. Vendors responding to these solicitations must meet federal Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for food products), maintain HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance of at least $500,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 aggregate, comply with E-Verify requirements, and submit all pricing as firm, all-inclusive bids with no separate fuel or freight charges.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services issued IFB 92100ERFQ0020702027 for fish sticks (40,000-pound increments) to supply Georgia Correctional Industries, with bids due October 12, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB #SN002-2027 for school nutrition grocery and food service supplies across 1,200+ line items with June 29, 2026 bid opening. Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line bids for food and non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program, due June 8, 2026. Richmond County Board of Education issued RFQ #26-204 for grocery products covering frozen, refrigerated, and dry-storage categories for 2026–2028, with submission deadline May 27, 2026. Invest Atlanta posted a dual-track RFP (posted July 6, 2026, due August 6, 2026) seeking both a retail grocery market operator and food distributor for Atlanta Priority Communities, with Category B food distributors required to source a minimum 10 percent of product volume from Georgia-based producers at contract start and 20 percent within 24 months. The State of Georgia also posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026) with scope details in the attached solicitation document. The code shows consistent activity across school districts and state institutional purchasing, with a secondary thread of economic-development-driven food-access initiatives targeting local supply-chain development in underserved urban markets.
