UNSPSC 50122164: Farm raised yellowfin tuna

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

UNSPSC 50122164 Farm raised yellowfin tuna is a Commodity code that sits within a broader family of food products procured by state and local agencies. State and local governments do not currently buy farm-raised yellowfin tuna under this code. The recent opportunities posted under this classification show no solicitations for yellowfin tuna—whether farm-raised, wild-caught, or any specific tuna species. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect grocery procurement for school nutrition programs, municipal food distribution operations, and state food service contracting across Georgia. The solicitations name proteins generically (beef, chicken, fish, pork, turkey) with allowances for "approved equal" alternatives, but none specify yellowfin tuna as a line item, target species, or sourcing requirement.

The active procurement under this code comes from school districts (Houston County, Dougherty County, Early County, Lamar County, Decatur City Schools, Richmond County, Hancock County), state agencies (Georgia Department of Education or state institutional services), county commissioners (Gwinnett County), and one municipal economic development entity (Invest Atlanta). The geographic concentration is Georgia, with all recent opportunities originating there. Representative current activity includes Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct food delivery (bid due April 17, 2026) covering approximately 350,000 cases annually across 39 schools; Dougherty County Board of Education's IFB for groceries (due May 19, 2026) serving 22 schools; and Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP (due August 6, 2026) for food distribution and retail grocery operations in Atlanta's Priority Communities. None of these solicitations targets or references tuna products. The code assignment appears to be a mismatch—the UNSPSC taxonomy may have been applied in error, or the sourcing office used a blanket code that does not reflect actual commodity procurement. Activity in specialty seafood procurement, if it exists in state and local markets, does not surface here.
