UNSPSC 50122140: Farm raised mako shark

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

UNSPSC 50122140 Farm raised mako shark is a Commodity code that does not map to the work currently being solicited under it by state and local governments. Recent postings tagged with this code describe school nutrition procurement, correctional facility food service, municipal market operations, and grocery distribution — none of which involve farm-raised mako shark or seafood procurement at scale. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services, for example, solicited fish sticks for Georgia Correctional Industries in October 2026, and the Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Richmond County Board of Education all posted grocery supplier bids covering proteins, produce, dairy, and non-food service supplies across the same timeframe. The mako shark code appears to be a data-entry or classification error rather than a reflection of active procurement activity in this commodity.

State and local procurement offices in Georgia, in particular, have driven recent activity under this code tag, though the actual scope bears no relationship to the nominal commodity. A meaningful business development strategy under this code would require verification of the correct UNSPSC classification and confirmation that recent opportunities are mislabeled rather than a genuine signal of demand. Absent corrected coding or evidence of mako shark procurement in state and local contracts, this code does not represent a viable market segment.
