UNSPSC 50122156: Farm raised swordfish

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

UNSPSC 50122156 Farm raised swordfish is a Commodity code that reflects state and local procurement activity for fresh seafood and specialty protein items supplied to school nutrition programs, institutional food service operations, and retail grocery markets. State and local governments procure under this code through competitive solicitations that emphasize USDA Grade A quality standards, Child Nutrition labeling compliance, temperature-controlled delivery, and Buy American provisions requiring domestic agricultural content. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts across Georgia—including Early County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Lamar County School District, Dougherty County Board of Education, Treutlen County School Food Authority, City Schools of Decatur, Richmond County Board of Education, and Houston County School District—supplemented by state-level procurement (State of Georgia) and specialized institutional buyers such as Invest Atlanta's food distribution network and Gwinnett County departments. School districts represent the dominant buyer class, with recent solicitations organized into line-item IFBs and RFQs covering proteins, produce, dairy, and ancillary food service supplies.

The geographic spread centers on Georgia, where recent activity reflects sustained demand from school nutrition programs serving the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across rural, suburban, and urban districts. Representative recent opportunities include Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 SNP Food Bid (posted March 13, 2026, due April 17, 2026) seeking direct-delivery suppliers for an estimated $14 million annual contract serving approximately 39 schools with 45,000 meals daily; Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items with domestic sourcing preferences and low-sodium formulations; and Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for a main-line food service distributor (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026) supporting 32 schools with approximately $9 million estimated annual expenditure. These solicitations emphasize firm fixed pricing, HACCP compliance, temperature-controlled logistics, liability insurance of $500,000 to $2 million, and E-Verify authorization, with contract terms typically running July 1 through June 30 with renewal options. No recent opportunities explicitly name swordfish or other specific finfish species as line items in the available documentation; procurement under this code appears limited or embedded within broader protein categories tagged to parent UNSPSC families.
