UNSPSC 50122131: Farm raised halibut

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

UNSPSC 50122131 Farm raised halibut is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of fresh and frozen seafood products for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and municipal grocery retail operations. The recent solicitations tagged to this code show minimal direct targeting of halibut specifically; instead, state and local buyers are procuring comprehensive protein lineups including fish, seafood, and other meats as part of broader food-supply contracts. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with Georgia school systems (Houston County, Douglas County, Hancock County, Early County, Dougherty County, Lamar County, City Schools of Decatur, Treutlen County, and Richmond County) posting the overwhelming majority of recent bids. The State of Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, and Invest Atlanta (for municipal grocery and food distribution) also issued solicitations. Work ranges from direct-delivery foodservice supplier contracts serving tens of thousands of students daily to warehouse-delivery arrangements and single-product categories such as fresh produce and eggs through cooperative buying agreements.

Georgia dominates the recent activity geographically, with all 16 named opportunities posted since January 2026 originating from Georgia state agencies, county boards of education, school districts, or Atlanta-based entities. Representative opportunities include Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct food delivery across approximately 39 schools with estimated annual volume of 350,000 cases and roughly $14 million annual value (bids due April 17, 2026); Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution serving 32 schools and 25,500 students with approximately $9 million estimated annual spend (sealed proposals due February 18, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education School Nutrition Program's IFB #SN002-2027 covering over 1,200 line items across proteins, produce, dairy, and non-food supplies for three school locations (bids due June 26, 2026); and Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for municipal food distribution and retail grocery operations in Atlanta's Priority Communities (proposals due August 6, 2026). All solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance, USDA Child Nutrition standards including whole-grain and sodium requirements, HACCP food-safety plans, and firm fixed pricing including transportation.
