UNSPSC 50122168: Farm raised atlantic mackerel

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

UNSPSC 50122168 Farm raised atlantic mackerel is a Commodity code that spans the seafood and protein products state and local governments acquire for food service operations, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal procurement activity tagged to this specific code. The available records reflect school nutrition program food service solicitations and municipal grocery operations that encompass broad protein categories rather than farm-raised Atlantic mackerel specifically. School districts, county boards of education, and municipal development authorities across Georgia dominate the recent activity, with the largest and most visible opportunities coming from Houston County School District (approximately $14 million annually for direct food delivery serving 39 schools), Douglas County School System (approximately $9 million annually for main-line food distribution plus a separate $4.4 million produce and eggs procurement serving 30 districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative), and Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for municipal grocery operations in Atlanta's Priority Communities. Early County Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education, Lamar County School District, Treutlen County School Food Authority, City Schools of Decatur, and Gwinnett County Commissioners also issued recent IFBs and RFQs for food service supplies.

Georgia school districts and state agencies account for substantially all recent procurement tagged to seafood or protein lines. Representative recent opportunities include Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct food delivery (bid due April 17, 2026), Dougherty County Board of Education's IFB 006-SNS-2027 for groceries spanning approximately 300 line items (due May 19, 2026), Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services serving approximately 25,500 students with an estimated $9 million annual spend (due February 18, 2026), and Invest Atlanta's RFP for Category B food distribution services requiring minimum 10 percent Georgia-sourced product volume at contract start with a path to 20 percent within 24 months (due August 6, 2026). All school nutrition procurements require compliance with Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content for food products), USDA Child Nutrition standards including whole grain and sodium specifications, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, and general liability insurance typically ranging from $500,000 to $1 million per occurrence. The solicitations emphasize direct delivery with weekly or bi-weekly schedules, firm pricing inclusive of transportation, and contract terms spanning one to three years with renewal options. No incumbent vendors or award values are disclosed in the available documentation, and no set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are noted in most school district procurements, though Invest Atlanta's municipal market RFP applies living wage compliance and Priority Community hiring mandates for Category B food distributors.
