UNSPSC 50122125: Farm raised eel

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

UNSPSC 50122125 Farm raised eel is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its scope. The recent opportunities dataset shows no solicitations specifically for farm-raised eel; instead, the opportunities tagged with this code reflect broader school nutrition and municipal food distribution programs that procure generalized groceries, frozen foods, produce, dairy, proteins, and staple items across Georgia school districts, county systems, and municipal entities. The code does not appear to drive purchasing decisions at the state or local level in any concentrated way, and business development professionals pursuing eel as a specialty aquaculture product will find little actionable pipeline under this classification.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing bodies in the dataset, with solicitations from Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County, Lamar County, Decatur City Schools, Dougherty County, Treutlen County, Houston County, and Douglas County in Georgia, alongside requests from the State of Georgia itself and Invest Atlanta's municipal market initiative. These buyers procure food through IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs with response deadlines spanning February through August 2026, but their line items focus on commodity proteins (beef, chicken, pork, turkey, ground beef), frozen vegetables and fruits, dairy, grains, bread, and prepared convenience foods—not specialty fish or aquaculture products. Invest Atlanta's food distribution RFP (due August 6, 2026) and the Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution Services RFP (due February 18, 2026, with estimated annual value of $9 million) represent the largest procurement vehicles in the dataset, yet neither specifically calls for farm-raised eel or other specialty seafood. The geographic concentration is entirely Georgia, with no multi-state activity evident. Vendors pursuing this code should either verify the code classification with procurement offices or explore whether eel demand exists through direct outreach to school nutrition directors and municipal procurement officers; the current solicitation activity provides no signal of established purchasing patterns for farm-raised eel at the state or local level.
