UNSPSC 50122124 Farm raised drum is a Commodity code that captures farmed aquaculture protein products purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service, specifically fish and seafood commodities destined for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and municipal food distribution operations. State and local procurement under this code centers on bulk-quantity protein sourcing meeting USDA nutritional and food safety standards, with delivery and handling specifications embedded in pricing. Issuing bodies include state departments (Georgia Department of Administrative Services), county school boards (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education), and economic development authorities (Invest Atlanta). Georgia dominates the recent activity, with multiple school districts and state-level procurement offices actively soliciting farmed fish and seafood products throughout 2026.

Georgia's Department of Administrative Services issued RFQ 92100ERFQ0020702027 for fish sticks in bulk increments of 40,000 pounds per purchase order, due October 12, 2026, supplying Georgia Correctional Industries with all-inclusive delivered pricing and strict specification-sheet compliance requirements. Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) encompassed over 1,200 line items across proteins including fish and seafood for three school locations, requiring HACCP plans, $500,000 minimum liability insurance, and Buy American compliance for products exceeding 51 percent domestic agricultural content. Richmond County Board of Education's RFQ #26-204 (due May 27, 2026) sought grocery products for 2026–2028 including frozen fish items meeting USDA Grade A and Child Nutrition label standards for delivery Monday through Wednesday, 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Early County Board of Education (bids due June 8, 2026) requested line-by-line bids including seafood, meats, and poultry for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP (due August 6, 2026) for food distribution services mandated that Category B distributors source a minimum 10 percent of food product volume from Georgia-based producers at contract start, with documented path to 20 percent within 24 months, creating indirect demand for regionally sourced protein including farmed aquaculture.
