UNSPSC 50122119: Farm raised cusk

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

UNSPSC 50122119 Farm raised cusk is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code to procure finfish and seafood products for institutional food service — primarily school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and municipal food distribution initiatives. The recent solicitations show demand for finished seafood products rather than raw cusk alone; Georgia's Department of Administrative Services sought fish sticks in bulk (40,000-pound increments) for Georgia Correctional Industries, and school districts including Hancock County Board of Education and Richmond County Board of Education in Augusta, Georgia solicited seafood as part of comprehensive line-item grocery bids covering proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and non-food supplies for school lunch and breakfast programs. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state correctional or food-service agencies, with occasional participation by municipal economic-development entities such as Invest Atlanta managing food distribution for priority communities.

School districts have posted IFBs and RFQs for grocery products spanning school years 2026–2028, requiring vendors to meet USDA Grade A standards, Child Nutrition label specifications, whole-grain content, sodium limits, and domestic-sourcing Buy American compliance; examples include Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) and Richmond County Board of Education RFQ #26-204 (due May 27, 2026). All prices are required to include freight and delivery with no separate fuel surcharges.
