UNSPSC 50122159: Farm raised turbot

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

UNSPSC 50122159 Farm raised turbot is a Commodity code that covers aquacultured fish products for institutional and commercial food service. State and local governments do not procure farm-raised turbot specifically under this code; recent solicitations tagged to it reflect general grocery and food supply procurement for school nutrition programs, county correctional facilities, and municipal food distribution services. The issuing bodies are predominantly Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County, Lamar County, City Schools of Decatur, Dougherty County, Treutlen County, Houston County, and Douglas County), the State of Georgia, and county or municipal purchasing departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Invest Atlanta). These entities solicit frozen and fresh proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and prepared foods as part of comprehensive food-service supply contracts under National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program authority, not seafood procurement as a standalone category.

The code shows no evidence of targeted farm-raised turbot demand in recent state and local activity. The representative solicitations—Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct delivery of food, paper, and chemicals (bid due April 17, 2026), the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026), Dougherty County Board of Education's IFB for groceries (due May 19, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution (due February 18, 2026)—all request comprehensive protein, produce, and staple categories with no mention of turbot or specialty aquacultured species. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia school districts and state agencies. The code's nominal classification does not align with recent procurement patterns, which emphasize ground beef, poultry, frozen vegetables, dairy, and commodity-eligible items required under federal school nutrition regulations rather than specialty or import-intensive seafood products.
