UNSPSC 50122132: Farm raised herring

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

UNSPSC 50122132 Farm raised herring is a Commodity code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The seventeen opportunities posted between January and July 2026 in the source material span school nutrition programs, municipal food distribution, state institutional food services, and county supplemental grocery procurement across Georgia, but none specifically solicit farm-raised herring or seafood procurement as a line item or standalone category. School districts including Houston County, Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County, Lamar County, Dougherty County, Treutlen County, and the City Schools of Decatur have issued invitations for bid covering frozen foods, proteins, produce, and dairy for nutrition programs; state and local bodies including Invest Atlanta, the State of Georgia, and Gwinnett County have solicited groceries and food distribution services; yet herring—whether farm-raised or wild—does not appear as a specified product, approved brand, or estimated line item in any of these procurements. The food categories that do surface repeatedly include frozen beef, chicken, fish (generically), pork, turkey, and other proteins meeting USDA Grade A and Child Nutrition standards, but herring is not named.

This code likely sees activity in seafood wholesale or institutional foodservice procurement at the federal level (military, VA, USDA commodity distribution) rather than state and local school and municipal contracting. State and local food procurement in Georgia focuses on commodity-driven, high-volume proteins serving nutrition programs and institutional kitchens where cost and fill rates are primary drivers; specialty seafood species command lower priority than chicken, ground beef, and commodity proteins. Unless a school district or municipality has an explicit herring-based menu or a supplier is bidding herring under a generic "fish" or "seafood" category heading that does not surface in publicly available bid summaries, pursuit of this code at the state and local level is not supported by current market activity.
