UNSPSC 50122150: Farm raised scup

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

UNSPSC 50122150 Farm raised scup is a Commodity code that describes a specific finfish product, but the recent state and local procurement record shows no substantive activity matching this code. Across sixteen recent opportunities spanning July 2026 back to January 2026, solicitations are concentrated in school nutrition programs, municipal food distribution, and state-level food service procurement—none of which explicitly specify farm-raised scup or similar specific finfish species. The opportunities instead request generic "protein," "entrees," "fresh seafood," or "breaded pollock" alongside broader food categories without itemizing species-level specifications. One Georgia school district (Houston County, ITB 27-001, April 17, 2026) procures approximately $14 million in annual food, paper, and chemical supplies across 350,000 cases with detailed line-item bid forms, yet the public solicitation summaries do not disclose individual species requirements. Similarly, Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 (June 26, 2026) encompasses over 1,200 line items across proteins and produce without specifying farm-raised scup. The State of Georgia's IFB Food IFB #1 2027-2026 (June 1, 2026) and Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution and municipal market retail (August 6, 2026) likewise do not reference this Commodity code's scope.

The current activity under this code does not support market pursuit at this time. The procurement environment remains dominated by school districts, county boards of education, municipal authorities, and state agencies across Georgia and other states seeking broad food categories through standard IFB and RFP vehicles. These buyers emphasize Buy American compliance, USDA Child Nutrition standards, whole-grain and low-sodium specifications, and price competitiveness within established cooperative purchasing frameworks—but species-specific finfish procurement does not appear in the recent opportunities block. If farm-raised scup demand exists within state and local food service markets, it remains embedded in unspecified line-item bid forms or not yet solicited under this code designation.
