UNSPSC 50122171: Farm raised basa

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

UNSPSC 50122171 Farm raised basa is a Commodity code capturing frozen fish and seafood products supplied to state and local institutional foodservice operations — primarily correctional facilities, school districts, and municipal food distribution networks. State and local governments procure farm-raised basa under this code as a cost-effective protein for large-volume meal programs, typically delivered in bulk increments and subject to strict food safety, nutritional labeling, and domestic-sourcing compliance. Recent solicitations show basa and similar frozen fish products bundled within broader school nutrition and institutional food supply bids rather than as standalone line items, though Georgia's Department of Administrative Services has posted specific RFQs for fish sticks (a processed basa-based product) destined for correctional foodservice.

Recent activity centers on Georgia school districts and state agencies. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services solicited fish sticks for Georgia Correctional Industries (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020702027, due October 12, 2026, 40,000-pound increments), Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB for school nutrition suppliers including seafood categories (due June 26, 2026), Richmond County Board of Education in Augusta solicited frozen fish products as part of a grocery RFQ for 2026–2028 (due May 27, 2026), and Early County Board of Education requested line-item bids including meats, poultry, and seafood for school lunch programs (due June 8, 2026). All school district bids mandate Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, food safety traceability, and inclusion of all freight and delivery in unit pricing with no separate fuel surcharges. Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution and municipal market retail operations (due August 6, 2026) includes supplier categories requiring sourcing of at least 10 percent product volume from Georgia-based producers. The code shows modest recent activity concentrated in Georgia institutional and school foodservice procurement with no posted opportunities outside the state in the available record.
