UNSPSC 50122114: Farm raised chum salmon

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Chum 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 50122114 Farm raised chum salmon (Commodity) does not reflect significant recent procurement activity among state and local government buyers. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly for farm-raised chum salmon or any salmonid species. Instead, Georgia school districts, county boards of education, and the State of Georgia are soliciting broadly for grocery and food service supplies—proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and staples—under general food procurement IFBs and RFPs that contemplate supplier discretion in sourcing. When salmon appears at all in the source material, it is a single line item within multi-thousand-line bid spreadsheets, undifferentiated by species or farming method, and priced competitively against alternatives. The code's nominal scope and the actual purchasing activity diverge materially.

School nutrition programs represent the largest share of recent state and local procurement in this commodity family, with Hancock County Board of Education, Lamar County School District, Houston County School District, Dougherty County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education, Treutlen County School Food Authority, City Schools of Decatur, and Douglas County School System all issuing IFBs or RFPs between January and July 2026 for direct delivery of food products to school locations—typically specifying 300 to 1,200 line items per solicitation, with product selection left to vendors' sourcing judgment within USDA and nutrition-label compliance constraints. The State of Georgia issued a broad food IFB in May 2026, and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners sought supplemental groceries for county facilities. Invest Atlanta issued a dual-track RFP in July 2026 for food distribution and municipal market retail operations in Priority Communities. The geographic spread is concentrated in Georgia, with no recent activity evident in other states. This code warrants a skip unless you specialize in large-scale commodity food sourcing to institutional buyers where species-level differentiation—whether farm-raised chum salmon or another protein—drives competitive advantage in a low-margin, high-volume bid environment.
