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

UNSPSC 50122169 Farm raised barracuda is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged with this code overwhelmingly seek fish sticks, grocery supplies, and school nutrition products for correctional facilities, municipal markets, and public school districts—not farm raised barracuda as a standalone product. The issuing bodies span state departments (Georgia Department of Administrative Services, State of Georgia), county school boards (Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County), municipal development authorities (Invest Atlanta), and correctional industries. The work includes procurement of pre-made frozen fish products delivered in bulk quantities, grocery staples for institutional food service, produce, dairy, proteins, and non-food supplies such as cleaning products and serving ware. Institutional food service represents the primary use case: school nutrition programs account for the majority of recent activity, with districts specifying detailed nutritional compliance (USDA Child Nutrition label requirements, whole-grain standards, sodium limits, trans-fat-free formulations) and federal Buy American provisions for domestic agricultural content.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, where four of six recent opportunities originated: Georgia's Department of Administrative Services (fish sticks for correctional industries, due October 12, 2026, IFB), Hancock County Board of Education (school nutrition grocery supplier, IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), Early County Board of Education (National School Lunch Program food and non-food products, due June 8, 2026), Richmond County Board of Education (grocery products 2026–2028, RFQ #26-204, due May 27, 2026), and the State of Georgia (food, supplies, and kitchen products, due June 22, 2026). Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution and municipal market retail operations (due August 6, 2026) represents non-school institutional procurement. School districts uniformly require firm pricing inclusive of delivery, HACCP compliance, general liability insurance ($500,000 per occurrence minimum), E-Verify verification, and acceptance of SNAP/EBT benefits where applicable. The code shows active but geographically narrow recent procurement, with institutional food service and school nutrition dominating the opportunity pipeline.
