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 is a Commodity code covering seafood products that state and local governments source for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and supplemental food procurement. Recent solicitations show the code being used primarily by Georgia school districts and county boards of education acquiring food products for cafeteria operations, though the specific product line—farm-raised cobia—does not appear prominently in the recent opportunities reviewed. Instead, school nutrition programs are soliciting broader protein categories including frozen fish, breaded pollock, ground beef, chicken, turkey, and other entrees as part of comprehensive food procurement packages that span proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and support supplies.

Georgia school districts dominate recent activity under this code tier. The Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education, Lamar County School District, Dougherty County Board of Education, Houston County School District, Douglas County School System, and City Schools of Decatur have all issued competitive bids for food procurement in the past four months, with responses typically due between March and August 2026. The Houston County School District issued ITB 27-001 SNP Food Bid (due April 17, 2026) for approximately $14 million in annual direct-delivery food and paper supplies serving 39 schools, while Douglas County School System issued RFP 26-003 Food Supply and Distribution Services (due February 18, 2026) for approximately $9 million in annual food service covering 32 schools. State-level solicitations also appear: the State of Georgia posted IFB Food IFB #1 2027-2026 (due June 1, 2026) for food products across state agencies and institutions. Activity is concentrated in Georgia, with no recent opportunities from other states or jurisdictions evident in the source material.
