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 fresh and frozen salmon products procured by state and local governments for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and municipal market operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies purchasing coho salmon as part of broader protein categories within competitive sealed-bid food service contracts, typically bundled with other fresh, frozen, and canned proteins as line items in nutrition program procurement. The code sees activity across Georgia school districts, state procurement offices, and special-purpose food distribution initiatives; issuing bodies include independent school districts (Houston County, Douglas County, Early County, Hancock County, Lamar County, Dougherty County, Treutlen County, Richmond County, City Schools of Decatur), county boards of education, state agencies (State of Georgia), and special procurement entities (Invest Atlanta for municipal market operations, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners for institutional dining).

Recent representative solicitations include Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct delivery of food, paper, and chemical supplies with approximately $14 million in annual spending and 350,000 cases across 39 schools (bid due April 17, 2026), Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution serving 32,500 students with approximately $9 million in estimated annual expenditure (sealed proposals due February 18, 2026), and Dougherty County Board of Education's IFB for groceries supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across 22 school sites with approximately 300 line items including proteins (sealed bids due May 19, 2026). School nutrition programs dominate the code's activity, with vendors required to comply with Buy American provisions (51% domestic agricultural content for processed foods), USDA Child Nutrition standards, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall capability, and liability insurance minimums typically ranging from $500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence. Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia, with activity also reported in Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for municipal market food distribution in Atlanta's Priority Communities (proposals due August 6, 2026).
