UNSPSC 50122144: Farm raised opah

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

UNSPSC 50122144 Farm raised opah is a Commodity code representing a narrow seafood product category, but recent state and local opportunities show the code sees minimal direct application to actual procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under or near this code span a much broader range of food procurement: Georgia Correctional Industries' fish sticks (Georgia Department of Administrative Services, RFQ, October 12, 2026 response date), Invest Atlanta's food distribution services and municipal market retail operations (RFP, August 6, 2026 response date), school nutrition suppliers across multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County Board of Education IFB, Early County Board of Education IFB, Richmond County Board of Education RFQ), and a statewide Georgia food and kitchen products solicitation. None of these opportunities explicitly specify farm-raised opah as a product; rather, they tag broader food procurement under this single commodity code, or the code application appears misaligned with actual scope. State and local buyers treating this code as a catch-all for seafood or general food procurement suggests either the code taxonomy does not cleanly map to how jurisdictions categorize food buys, or opah is a minority line item buried in much larger mixed-protein and grocery solicitations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with five of six recent opportunities originating from Georgia state agencies, school districts, or the City of Atlanta (Invest Atlanta). Issuing bodies span state departments (Georgia Department of Administrative Services), county boards of education (Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County), a city economic development authority (Invest Atlanta), and correctional industries. School nutrition procurement dominates the activity, with multiple districts issuing IFBs and RFQs for annual supplier contracts running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's June 26, 2026 IFB covering 1,200+ line items across proteins, produce, dairy, and non-food supplies; Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 IFB for 300+ food items and 60+ non-food products; and Richmond County Board of Education's May 27, 2026 RFQ for frozen, cooler, and dry storage products across 2026–2028 contract terms with renewal options. Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, E-Verify verification, and minimum insurance thresholds are standard across all school nutrition and food-service bids.
