UNSPSC 50122135: Farm raised kingklip

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

UNSPSC 50122135 Farm raised kingklip is a Commodity code that spans farmed seafood products, though state and local governments' actual procurement under this code focuses on processed fish products for institutional food service. The recent opportunities show purchasing bodies acquiring fish sticks and other prepared seafood items—not whole or filleted kingklip—to supply correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and municipal food distribution networks. Issuing bodies include state departments of administrative services, county boards of education, and municipal economic development authorities. The work involves bidding standardized seafood products in bulk quantities against detailed specifications and delivery requirements, with all-inclusive pricing that incorporates transportation and meets Buy American provisions where applicable for school lunch programs.

Georgia dominates recent activity under this code, with the Georgia Department of Administrative Services procuring 40,000-pound increments of fish sticks for Georgia Correctional Industries (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020702027, due October 12, 2026), the Hancock County Board of Education and Early County Board of Education purchasing fish as part of broader school lunch supplier RFPs, and Richmond County Board of Education soliciting frozen fish products across the 2026–2028 contract term (RFQ #26-204, due May 27, 2026). Invest Atlanta issued a dual-track RFP in July 2026 seeking food distributors to supply municipal grocery markets in Priority Communities, with Category B distributors required to source food products including seafood from multiple accounts. All recent school-based solicitations require E-Verify compliance, HACCP plans, $500,000 general liability insurance, Buy American compliance for over 51 percent domestic content, and firm pricing that includes all transportation with no separate fuel surcharges.
