UNSPSC 50122146: Farm raised pink salmon

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

UNSPSC 50122146 Farm raised pink salmon is a Commodity code covering seafood products that state and local governments procure as ingredients for institutional food service, school lunch programs, and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers source salmon and salmon-derived products—including fish sticks manufactured from salmon—through RFQs and IFBs seeking competitive bids on line-item grocery and food-service supplies. Issuing bodies include state departments, school districts, and specialized procurement entities; Georgia's Department of Administrative Services, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Richmond County Board of Education have all recently posted food-service solicitations. The scope spans proteins for institutional menus, often bundled with other grocery categories (frozen proteins, dairy, produce, condiments, and non-food supplies) in single-vendor or multi-vendor awards. Compliance requirements are standard across state and local buyers: Buy American provisions (domestic agricultural content thresholds), HACCP plans, food-safety certification, liability insurance minimums, E-Verify verification, and debarment checks for larger awards.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, where school districts and state agencies are actively soliciting food-service suppliers for school years 2026–2027 and beyond. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services issued an RFQ (92100ERFQ0020702027) for fish sticks to supply Georgia Correctional Industries, with bids due October 12, 2026, requiring delivery in 40,000-pound increments and all-inclusive pricing with no separate freight charges. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000008) for school nutrition grocery suppliers covering over 1,200 line items across proteins, produce, and supplies, with bids due June 26, 2026 and contract performance from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Early County Board of Education (PE55045NONST2027000000006) and Richmond County Board of Education (PE72110NONST2027000000059) issued similar multi-year food-supply RFQs in May and June 2026 for school-year 2026–2027 and 2026–2028 periods. Bid prices must be firm, include transportation, and exclude fuel surcharges; all vendors must meet domestic-content and nutritional-specification requirements aligned with USDA child-nutrition standards.
