UNSPSC 50122152: Farm raised smelt

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

UNSPSC 50122152 Farm raised smelt, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities show that this code is being applied to broad food procurement solicitations—fish sticks for correctional facilities, grocery supply for school nutrition programs, and food distribution services for municipal markets—rather than farm-raised smelt as a discrete product line. State and local issuing bodies are using this code to classify general food procurement spanning proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and non-food supplies across correctional institutions, school districts, and economic development entities. The work involves sourcing products that meet USDA standards, Food Safety Modernization Act compliance, Buy American provisions, whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, and delivery to multiple designated locations within firm pricing structures that include packing and transportation.

Activity under this code is concentrated in Georgia, where the Department of Administrative Services, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education, and the State of Georgia have posted food procurement solicitations between May and October 2026. Representative opportunities include Georgia Department of Administrative Services' RFQ for fish sticks (40,000-pound increments delivered to Georgia Correctional Industries, due October 12, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for school nutrition grocery and food service supplies spanning over 1,200 line items across seven categories, due June 26, 2026 with bid opening June 29, 2026; and Richmond County Board of Education's RFQ #26-204 for grocery products covering frozen, refrigerated, and dry storage items for school years 2026-2028, due May 27, 2026. School districts dominate recent posting volume, with emphasis on multi-year contracts, incumbent piggybacking rights, E-Verify compliance, general liability insurance of at least $500,000 per occurrence, and HACCP certification.
