UNSPSC 50122121: Farm raised dogfish

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

UNSPSC 50122121 Farm raised dogfish is a Commodity code that captures seafood protein products being sourced by state and local education and correctional agencies. Recent solicitations show the code is being applied to fish-based food products delivered to schools and institutional facilities, though the actual procurement activity spans a broader range of grocery and food-service supplies than the code's nominal scope suggests. The issuing bodies soliciting under or adjacent to this code are school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), state correctional agencies (Georgia Correctional Industries through the Georgia Department of Administrative Services), and economic development authorities (Invest Atlanta). School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with fish appearing as a line item within comprehensive meal-service procurement cycles rather than as a standalone commodity contract.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in Georgia. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services posted an IFB (solicitation 92100ERFQ0020702027) for fish sticks in 40,000-pound increments to supply Georgia Correctional Industries, due October 12, 2026, requiring all-inclusive delivery pricing and detailed specification-sheet compliance rather than checkbox responses. Multiple Georgia school districts have posted IFBs and RFQs for annual school nutrition procurement cycles covering July 2026 through June 2027 and beyond — Hancock County Board of Education (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), Early County Board of Education (due June 8, 2026), and Richmond County Board of Education (RFQ #26-204, due May 27, 2026) — all requiring Buy American compliance, HACCP documentation, and fixed pricing through initial award periods. These school district solicitations treat fish and seafood as components of multi-category food awards alongside proteins, produce, dairy, and non-food supplies rather than isolated purchases. Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP (due August 6, 2026) for food distribution and municipal market retail operations in Atlanta's Priority Communities represents a different procurement pattern — seeking distributors and retail operators rather than product suppliers — and does not align closely with dogfish procurement activity.
