UNSPSC 50122128: Farm raised grouper

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

UNSPSC 50122128 Farm raised grouper is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The code shows little relevant recent activity—the Georgia state and local opportunities sourced above span school nutrition programs, municipal food distribution initiatives, and institutional food service procurement across multiple issuing bodies (school districts, county boards of education, city school systems, and municipal development authorities), but none of the available solicitations explicitly reference farm-raised grouper, aquaculture products, or seafood procurement as a primary line item or category. The Douglas County School System RFP for Fresh Produce and Eggs (due February 18, 2026), the Houston County School District food and warehouse delivery ITBs (due April 16–17, 2026), and the Invest Atlanta dual-track RFP for food distribution and municipal market operations (due August 6, 2026) focus on broad grocery, produce, dairy, protein, and staple categories rather than specialty or premium seafood sourcing. The State of Georgia and Hancock County Board of Education solicitations reference proteins and seafood in passing as line items within larger food-service procurement packages, but no opportunity identified in the recent posting block isolates or prioritizes farm-raised grouper or similar high-value aquaculture species.

State and local procurement under this code, where it occurs, would likely be confined to institutional food service operations (school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior centers) that maintain diverse protein sourcing and may bid specialty or local-source proteins as approved alternates to commodity seafood offerings. The issuing bodies active in the broader food-service space include independent school districts (Houston County, Lamar County, Early County, Richmond County, Hancock County, Douglas County, Dougherty County, Decatur, Treutlen County), county commissions (Gwinnett County), municipal education systems (City Schools of Decatur), and development authorities (Invest Atlanta), with the heaviest recent concentration in Georgia school nutrition procurement spanning spring and summer 2026. The geographic footprint is predominantly Georgia, with opportunities posted from January through July 2026. The code itself does not appear to be a primary procurement category in state and local solicitations at this time; pursuit should focus on identifying school districts or institutional food-service contracts that explicitly reference or encourage local, specialty, or premium protein sourcing in their RFPs or ITBs.
