UNSPSC 50122161: Farm raised walleye

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

UNSPSC 50122161 Farm raised walleye, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity directly aligned with aquaculture procurement. State and local government food procurement under this code is not evident in the available recent opportunities. The code nominally covers a single protein source — farm-raised walleye — yet the recent solicitations posted by state agencies, school districts, and county governments across Georgia focus on broad-based food service distribution, school nutrition programs, and municipal grocery operations that source proteins generically (frozen and fresh meats, poultry, seafood as category-level items without species-specific designation). None of the recent IFBs, ITBs, or RFPs name walleye or any particular aquaculture product as a line item or specification.

The mismatch reflects a structural reality in state and local food procurement: school districts, county boards of education, and state agencies aggregate food sourcing into large competitive bids organized by product category (proteins, produce, dairy, grains) or by delivery method (direct delivery, warehouse delivery, fresh produce). Walleye, if procured at all by these bodies, would compete as one option within a broader "seafood" or "proteins" category bid specification—not as a standalone commodity triggering a dedicated solicitation. Recent activity from Houston County School District (approximately $14 million annual food spend), Douglas County School System (approximately $9 million annual spend), Dougherty County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education, and Invest Atlanta's food distribution RFP all reflect this category-based structure. No recent solicitation names an incumbent walleye supplier, specifies aquaculture sourcing preferences, or carves out a dedicated line for farm-raised fish. Business development professionals pursuing walleye supply contracts should expect to compete as a specialty supplier within broader school nutrition and food service distribution bids, not as the primary respondent to a walleye-specific tender.
