UNSPSC 50122133: Farm raised hoki

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

UNSPSC 50122133 Farm raised hoki is a Commodity code that represents seafood procurement at the species level, though the recent state and local opportunities do not isolate hoki as a distinct line item in their solicitations. Instead, state and local governments source hoki and similar finfish as components of broader food-service and school nutrition procurement categories—embedded in frozen protein arrays, main-line food distribution contracts, and comprehensive grocery supplier agreements that encompass proteins (meats, poultry, and seafood), produce, dairy, grains, and supplies. The issuing-body mix is heavily weighted toward Georgia school districts (independent districts, county boards of education, and consolidated systems) and special-purpose buying cooperatives serving multi-district consortia, with occasional state-level and county-level general-services procurement. Repeat buyers include Houston County School District, Douglas County School System, Lamar County School District, Early County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, and the State of Georgia; city school systems including City Schools of Decatur and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners also solicit regularly. Georgia dominates the recent-opportunity set, with all identifiable geographic references concentrated in that state.

Representative recent opportunities span both direct-delivery and warehouse-delivery models. Houston County School District issued ITB 27-001 SNP Food Bid on March 13, 2026, due April 17, 2026, seeking direct weekly delivery of food, paper, and chemical supplies to approximately 39 schools—a $14 million annual procurement of approximately 350,000 cases with 95 percent fill-rate requirements and temperature control protocols for proteins. Douglas County School System issued RFP 26-003 Food Supply and Distribution Services on January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026, for a main-line food distributor serving 32 schools with approximately $9 million annual spending and F.O.B. destination refrigerated delivery. Early County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, and the State of Georgia have posted parallel IFBs and RFQs for school nutrition procurement and state agency food services during the same period. Hoki procurement opportunities remain embedded within these multi-category buys rather than as standalone solicitations; qualified vendors competing for school nutrition and institutional food-service contracts will encounter hoki as a specified or approved-equal frozen seafood product alongside other proteins.
