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 is a Commodity code that encompasses farmed arctic char as a food product for institutional procurement, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct activity tagged to this specific code. State and local governments purchasing under this code primarily serve school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior centers, and municipal food distribution initiatives. When arctic char appears in procurement, it typically forms part of broader seafood or protein line items within larger food-service contracts rather than as a standalone procurement category. The issuing bodies span school districts (both individual districts and cooperative purchasing vehicles), county boards of education, state agencies, and special-purpose districts managing food services for public institutions.

Georgia dominates recent activity across the code's broader family — school districts in Houston County, Dougherty County, Early County, Lamar County, Richmond County, Treutlen County, Hancock County, Douglas County, and the City Schools of Decatur all posted food solicitations between February and July 2026, along with state-level procurement by the State of Georgia and the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners. Representative opportunities include Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct delivery of food, paper, and chemicals (approximately $14 million annually, bid due April 17, 2026), Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services (approximately $9 million annually, proposals due February 18, 2026), and Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution and municipal market retail operations (due August 6, 2026). These solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, temperature-controlled delivery, USDA Child Nutrition label standards, and whole-grain or low-sodium specifications, but arctic char does not appear as a named line item in any of the recent postings reviewed, indicating the code sees limited direct procurement activity at the state and local level.
