UNSPSC 50122129: Farm raised haddock

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

UNSPSC 50122129 Farm raised haddock is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh and frozen seafood products procured by state and local school nutrition programs, county boards of education, and municipal food distribution systems. The recent state and local opportunities under this code reveal that haddock and other seafood items are consistently demanded as protein components within comprehensive food service solicitations, typically bundled alongside frozen and fresh produce, dairy, and dry goods for school meal programs. However, the available source materials do not contain a dedicated solicitation specifically naming haddock as a standalone line item; instead, haddock appears embedded within broader grocery and protein category requests issued by Georgia school districts and food distribution authorities. School nutrition programs across Georgia, the primary issuing bodies, issue IFBs and RFPs annually to source proteins including fish and seafood for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance, with awards typically made to distributors meeting USDA Grade A standards, Child Nutrition labeling requirements, whole grain and sodium specifications, and Buy American provisions mandating minimum 51% domestic agricultural content.

Georgia school districts—Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, Treutlen County School Food Authority, Lamar County School District, City Schools of Decatur, Houston County School District, and Douglas County School System—issued the majority of recent food procurement solicitations between January and July 2026, with bid deadlines concentrated in May and June 2026. Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution services (posted July 6, 2026, due August 6, 2026) and the State of Georgia's April 2026 IFB for food products represent activity at the state agency and municipal levels. Geographically, all documented recent activity centers on Georgia, with no visible procurement outside the state in the provided records. The sourcing context emphasizes domestic preference and local producer relationships, particularly within Invest Atlanta's Category B food distributor mandate requiring 10% Georgia-based producer sourcing at contract start, scaling to 20% within 24 months—a preference structure that may favor regional suppliers positioned to meet both national standards and state procurement requirements.
