UNSPSC 50122145 Farm raised orange roughy is a Commodity code that nominally identifies specific aquaculture product. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little connection to farm-raised orange roughy itself; instead, they reflect a broad procurement pattern of food products and meal services for institutional buyers. The actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this code encompasses grocery suppliers, food distribution services, school nutrition program vendors, and correctional facility food provision. Issuing bodies include state purchasing offices, county boards of education, city economic development authorities, and specialty state agencies. The Georgia Department of Administrative Services, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Richmond County Board of Education appear as active recent buyers; Invest Atlanta represents municipal food system development.
