UNSPSC 50122148: Farm raised rainbow trout

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

UNSPSC 50122148 Farm raised rainbow trout is a Commodity code covering aquaculture products used in institutional food service, particularly school lunch programs and correctional facilities. The recent opportunities under this code show state and local governments purchasing processed fish products—notably fish sticks—as part of broader food supply contracts for schools, detention facilities, and food distribution networks. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services solicited fish sticks for Georgia Correctional Industries in an RFQ posted October 6, 2026 with response due October 12, 2026, requiring delivery in 40,000-pound increments with all-inclusive pricing. Issuing bodies include state purchasing offices, county boards of education, and special-purpose authorities; school districts are the dominant buyer class, typically procuring through IFB or RFQ vehicles as part of annual or multi-year food service contracts under the National School Lunch Program.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, where multiple school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education) and state-level procurement offices have issued food supply solicitations between May and June 2026 that encompass fish and other proteins alongside broader grocery categories. Invest Atlanta issued a dual-track RFP in July 2026 for food distribution services supporting municipal markets and grocery retailers in Priority Communities, creating indirect demand for sourced proteins including aquaculture products. The geographic spread remains limited to Georgia in the recent-opportunities block, though the code's scope suggests broader institutional adoption. School lunch programs dominate active procurement, with contracts typically running July through June fiscal years, including Buy American provisions requiring over 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP compliance, food safety certification, and firm pricing that covers delivery with no separate fuel surcharges permitted.
