UNSPSC 50122138: Farm raised lingcod

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

UNSPSC 50122138 Farm raised lingcod is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy primarily as a food service ingredient for school nutrition programs and municipal food distribution operations, though recent solicitation activity shows minimal direct procurement of this species. School districts across Georgia dominate the issuing-body mix, including Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education, Lamar County School District, Dougherty County Board of Education, Treutlen County School Food Authority, Douglas County School System, Houston County School District, and City Schools of Decatur. Economic development agencies also participate: Invest Atlanta issued a dual-track RFP for food distribution and municipal market retail operations in July 2026. The State of Georgia has posted general food procurement solicitations. School nutrition programs solicit frozen proteins, fresh seafood, and related food products through IFBs and RFPs with firm, fixed pricing that includes packing and transportation to school sites; deliveries typically occur weekly or bi-weekly Monday through Friday during breakfast and lunch service windows.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, where multiple school districts, the state, and Atlanta-based economic development agencies posted opportunities between January and July 2026. Recent representative solicitations include Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 SNP Food Bid (April 17, 2026 deadline) seeking direct delivery of food, paper, and chemical supplies valued at approximately $14 million annually with 350,000 cases estimated, and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (February 18, 2026 deadline) with approximately $9 million annual expenditure across 32 schools. Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB #SN002-2027 for grocery and food service supplies across seven categories (June 26, 2026 deadline), and Dougherty County Board of Education posted an IFB for approximately 300 grocery line items (May 19, 2026 deadline). All school nutrition contracts require compliance with Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content minimum), HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, liability insurance of $500,000 to $1 million per occurrence, and E-Verify authorization. The code shows no recent activity specific to farm-raised lingcod; state and local buyers are procuring broadly across frozen and fresh seafood proteins rather than requesting this species by name.
