UNSPSC 50122116: Farm raised cod

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

UNSPSC 50122116 Farm raised cod (Commodity) covers frozen and fresh farmed cod products, including processed fish items such as fish sticks, that state and local governments procure to supply institutional food service operations. The recent opportunities block shows that the code encompasses both whole-product and value-added fish forms — Georgia's Department of Administrative Services sought farm-raised fish sticks in 40,000-pound lots for Georgia Correctional Industries, while school districts including Hancock County Board of Education and Early County Board of Education bid for seafood proteins (identified as meats, poultry, seafood line items) to support National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state correctional agencies, county and school district nutrition programs, and municipal food distribution initiatives. Georgia's state purchasing office and individual school boards dominate the recent activity, with correctional and school nutrition as the primary end uses.

Recent opportunities concentrate in Georgia, with activity posted between April and October 2026. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services issued an RFQ (92100ERFQ0020702027) for fish sticks due October 12, 2026, specifying 40,000-pound delivery increments with all-inclusive pricing through the GA@Work portal.
