UNSPSC 50122153: Farm raised snapper

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

UNSPSC 50122153 Farm raised snapper is a Commodity code that captures seafood proteins and prepared seafood products state and local governments procure for institutional food service — including K–12 school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and municipal food distribution operations. Recent solicitations show that this code spans fresh and frozen fish products, including whole fish, fillets, and value-added items such as fish sticks. State and local buyers source these products through school district food service RFQs and IFBs, county board of education nutrition procurement, state purchasing programs, and specialized food distribution RFPs. Issuing bodies include state departments of administrative services, county boards of education, independent school districts, and municipal economic development authorities. Compliance requirements are consistent across buyers: Buy American provisions (domestic content thresholds), HACCP certification, food safety and traceability systems, liability insurance of at least $500,000 per occurrence, E-Verify verification, and adherence to USDA nutrition standards including whole-grain and sodium specifications for school lunch programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, where multiple school districts and state agencies have posted solicitations between May and October 2026. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services solicited fish sticks in 40,000-pound increments for Georgia Correctional Industries (IFB 92100ERFQ0020702027, due October 12, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education requested grocery and food service supplies including proteins across multiple categories in IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026). Early County Board of Education and Richmond County Board of Education in Augusta both issued line-by-line food bids covering seafood and other proteins for school nutrition programs in May and June 2026, with contract periods running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for municipal market food distribution (due August 6, 2026) includes food distributor Category B, which mandates sourcing from Georgia-based producers and serves as the supply chain backbone for grocery markets in Priority Communities. School districts dominate the buyer base, with state and county purchasing offices second, reflecting institutional food service as the primary end use under this code.
