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 is a Commodity code covering seafood proteins sourced from aquaculture operations and supplied to institutional food service, retail distribution, and correctional facilities. State and local governments procure walleye and walleye-based food products — including frozen fish fillets and prepared items such as fish sticks — as part of school nutrition programs, correctional food services, and municipal food distribution initiatives. Issuing bodies include state departments, county boards of education, city economic development entities, and state correctional industries programs. The scope reflects institutional demand for USDA-compliant, domestically sourced protein meeting child nutrition labeling and whole-grain or prepared-food specifications, with emphasis on Buy American compliance and traceability systems including HACCP plans and recall procedures.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, where the Georgia Department of Administrative Services solicited fish sticks for Georgia Correctional Industries (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020702027, due October 12, 2026, 40,000-pound purchase order increments); Hancock County Board of Education requested grocery and food service supplies including protein items for School Year 2026-2027 (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026, across three school locations); and Early County Board of Education sought line-by-line bids for meats, poultry, and seafood supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program (due June 8, 2026). Additional school-based food procurement in Richmond County (RFQ #26-204, due May 27, 2026, covering frozen fish and other proteins through June 30, 2028) and Atlanta-based food distribution services (Invest Atlanta RFP dual-track Category B, due August 6, 2026, requiring 10% Georgia-based sourcing at contract start) demonstrate sustained institutional demand. The code shows no recent standout repeat buyers at the state-level or multi-county scale, with opportunities driven primarily by individual school districts and specialized state agencies managing food service contracts on an annual or multi-year renewal cycle.
