UNSPSC 50122115: Farm raised cobia

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

UNSPSC 50122115 Farm raised cobia (Commodity) sees minimal direct application in recent state and local procurement activity; the code nominally identifies a single aquaculture product, but the opportunities tagged under it reflect broad food procurement for institutional foodservice rather than cobia supply specifically. The state and local buyers posting opportunities under this code are school districts, state departments, and municipal development authorities sourcing grocery and food service supplies for cafeteria and correctional foodservice operations. The work solicited includes proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and non-food supplies such as cleaning products and disposables — commodity grocery items delivered to multiple school locations, correctional facilities, or retail grocery markets, not specialized aquaculture products.

Recent opportunities show school districts in Georgia as the dominant issuing bodies, with additional activity from the State of Georgia Department of Administrative Services, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education in Augusta, and Invest Atlanta. The geographic footprint is concentrated in Georgia. Representative recent solicitations include Georgia Department of Administrative Services RFQ 92100ERFQ0020702027 for fish sticks delivered in 40,000-pound increments to Georgia Correctional Industries (due October 12, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for over 1,200 line items across proteins, produce, dairy, and non-food supplies for three schools (bids due June 26, 2026), and Richmond County Board of Education RFQ #26-204 for comprehensive grocery products for school years 2026-2028, including frozen proteins, refrigerated dairy, and dry storage items (quotes due May 27, 2026). All require compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, minimum liability insurance, and E-Verify authorization; pricing must include delivery with no separate fuel surcharges. The code shows little activity specific to farm-raised cobia as a distinct product line.
