UNSPSC 50122167: Farm raised arctic char

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

UNSPSC 50122167 Farm raised arctic char (Commodity) covers farmed arctic char products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service—most visibly school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and municipal food distribution. Recent solicitations show the code capturing fish and seafood items as part of broader grocery and food service supply contracts rather than arctic char exclusively; the Georgia Department of Administrative Services fish sticks bid for Georgia Correctional Industries and multiple school district grocery procurements (Hancock County, Early County, and Richmond County in Georgia) are tagged under this code but source fish sticks, frozen seafood, and mixed protein categories rather than arctic char by species. The issuing bodies are predominantly school boards (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education), state agencies (Georgia Department of Administrative Services), and special-purpose municipal development authorities (Invest Atlanta). School districts dominate the recent activity, soliciting food service supplies as line-item or category-based IFBs and RFQs under their nutrition programs; correctional and municipal food-distribution entities represent secondary buyers.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, where Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County, Georgia Department of Administrative Services, and Invest Atlanta have all posted solicitations between May and October 2026. Representative opportunities include the Georgia Department of Administrative Services fish sticks RFQ (92100ERFQ0020702027) for Georgia Correctional Industries with a due date of October 12, 2026, requiring 40,000-pound increments and all-inclusive pricing; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for school nutrition supplies (PE67080NONST2027000000008) with over 1,200 line items across proteins, produce, and non-food supplies and a June 26, 2026 deadline; and Richmond County Board of Education's RFQ (PE72110NONST2027000000059) for grocery products covering frozen, refrigerated, and dry storage items on a 2026–2028 contract with a May 27, 2026 deadline. All school district procurements emphasize Buy American compliance, USDA Grade A standards, HACCP certification, and firm pricing inclusive of delivery with no separate fuel surcharges. The code shows material recent activity but primarily as one commodity category within larger institutional food-service portfolios rather than as a dedicated arctic char supply channel.
