UNSPSC 50122124: Farm raised drum

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

UNSPSC 50122124 Farm raised drum is a Commodity code that encompasses seafood protein products state and local governments procure as food service supplies, primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional feeding operations. Recent solicitations show district and county school boards sourcing farm-raised drum and other protein items as line-item components within broader grocery and food-service procurement RFPs and ITBs, typically bundled with frozen proteins, fresh meats, dairy, produce, and non-food supplies. The code appears embedded in larger food-supply contracts rather than as a standalone category—school districts and state agencies organize protein purchasing across multiple product lines rather than isolating aquaculture-raised species. Issuing bodies are predominantly Georgia school districts and boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education, Lamar County School District, Dougherty County Board of Education, Treutlen County School Food Authority, Houston County School District, City Schools of Decatur, Douglas County School System), supplemented by state-level procurement through the State of Georgia and county government departments such as Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners. Invest Atlanta has also posted a food-distribution RFP that includes sourcing grocery proteins for municipal markets.

Recent solicitation activity clusters heavily in Georgia, with school nutrition program contracts predominating from February through July 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) seeking grocery suppliers across multiple food categories including proteins; Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid for the National School Lunch Program (due June 8, 2026) covering meats, poultry, and seafood; Richmond County Board of Education's RFQ #26-204 for grocery products (due May 27, 2026) listing frozen and refrigerated proteins; Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct food delivery valued at approximately $14 million annually (due April 17, 2026); and Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution (due February 18, 2026) with approximately $9 million annual expenditure. All school-district contracts enforce Buy American provisions requiring domestic agricultural content above 51 percent, HACCP compliance, E-Verify authorization, and delivery to multiple school sites with firm pricing including transportation. The absence of farm-raised drum as a named item in posted solicitation summaries suggests the commodity is sourced as part of broader protein categories rather than as a differentiated procurement line.
