UNSPSC 50122117: Farm raised coho salmon

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Coho 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 50122117 Farm raised coho salmon, a Commodity code, describes processed and fresh seafood products state and local governments procure for institutional food service — primarily school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and municipal food distribution operations. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers soliciting fish products, including fish sticks and whole or portioned salmon, in high-volume formats suited to mass feeding. Issuing bodies are predominantly state departments, county school boards, city economic development authorities, and state correctional agencies. The work involves supply chain delivery with firm, all-inclusive pricing that covers freight, temperature control where required, HACCP compliance, food safety certifications (FSMA or equivalent), inventory rotation documentation, and Buy American compliance verification. Vendors must maintain general liability insurance ($500,000 minimum per occurrence) and E-Verify authorization, and respond to detailed specification sheets that require narrative compliance rather than checkmarks or abbreviations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, where the Department of Administrative Services issued an RFQ for 40,000-pound increments of fish sticks for Georgia Correctional Industries (due October 12, 2026), and where the Hancock County and Early County school boards separately solicited grocery suppliers including seafood line items for the 2026–2027 school year (bids due June 26, 2026 and June 8, 2026, respectively). Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution services (proposals due August 6, 2026) includes a food distributor category that must source a minimum 10% of product volume from Georgia producers, suggesting seafood sourcing opportunities in multi-site retail grocery and institutional supply chains. School districts — particularly in rural Georgia counties — represent the largest repeat buyer segment under this code, with multi-year contracts (typically July through June with renewal options) driving predictable volume demand for protein items. The Commodity code sees limited geographic diversity in the recent opportunities block; all sourced opportunities originate in Georgia.
