UNSPSC 50122165: Farm raised yellowtail

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

UNSPSC 50122165 Farm raised yellowtail is a Commodity code that covers seafood protein sourcing for institutional food service and retail operations, though recent state and local solicitations under this code focus on broader fish and seafood products within larger food procurement contracts rather than yellowtail specifically. State and local governments buying under this code include school districts, correctional facilities, municipal economic development agencies, and state procurement offices. The work being solicited spans school nutrition programs requiring proteins for lunch and breakfast service; correctional facilities seeking prepared or bulk seafood products; municipal food retail and distribution operations; and general institutional food service supply contracts. Issuing bodies range from individual school district boards of education to state-level purchasing departments and regional economic development authorities managing food infrastructure projects.

Recent opportunities show activity across Georgia and the Southeast. The Georgia Department of Administrative Services solicited fish sticks (a processed seafood product) on October 6, 2026 for Georgia Correctional Industries, with bids due October 12, 2026 as an RFQ requiring 40,000-pound delivery increments and all-inclusive pricing through the GA@Work portal. School districts dominate the recent pipeline: Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB for grocery and food service supplies (including proteins across multiple categories) due June 26, 2026; Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line food bids including meats, poultry, and seafood due June 8, 2026; and Richmond County Board of Education in Augusta issued RFQ #26-204 for grocery products covering frozen fish and protein items due May 27, 2026. Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP (posted July 6, 2026, due August 6, 2026) seeks food distributors to supply municipal grocery markets in Priority Communities, with an explicit mandate for Georgia-based producer sourcing and commercial food distribution experience. Federal compliance requirements across these solicitations include Buy American provisions (over 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans, food safety certification, debarment verification, E-Verify compliance, and liability insurance of at least $500,000 per occurrence. School districts typically award annually or for two-year terms with renewal options, require firm pricing for 60 to 90 days post-award, and impose no separate fuel surcharges.
