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 that names a specific aquaculture product, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it center on broad food procurement for schools, municipalities, and county agencies—primarily school nutrition programs, municipal grocery market operations, and supplemental food purchasing for government departments. The code does not align closely with the actual solicitation activity, which focuses on comprehensive food supply contracts encompassing proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and non-food items rather than basa specifically. School districts in Georgia dominate the issuing bodies, with Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education, Lamar County School District, City Schools of Decatur, Dougherty County Board of Education, Treutlen County School Food Authority, Houston County School District, and Douglas County School System all posting food procurement invitations. The State of Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, and Invest Atlanta (a municipal economic development entity) also appear as buyers. Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, with opportunities spanning metro Atlanta (Decatur, Gwinnett, Douglas County) through rural and mid-size districts (Hancock, Early, Lamar, Dougherty, Treutlen, Houston).

Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for grocery and food service supplies (due June 26, 2026) covering over 1,200 line items across proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and non-food supplies for three school locations; Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food and non-food bid (due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program; and Houston County School District's direct-delivery food bid valued at approximately $14 million annually with an estimated 350,000 cases annually (due April 17, 2026). Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations in Atlanta's Priority Communities (due August 6, 2026) seeks both a retail grocery operator and food distributors with mandates for sourcing 10–20% from Georgia-based producers and workforce requirements from designated communities. Douglas County School System's RFP for Food Supply and Distribution Services through the GEC Buying Cooperative estimated approximately $9 million annually across 32 schools (closed February 18, 2026). Most school-district solicitations specify Buy American requirements (51% domestic agricultural content), HACCP compliance, food safety certifications, whole grain and sodium-limit specifications, and delivery to multiple sites on fixed schedules. The code shows material recent activity but reflects broad commodity procurement rather than basa-specific demand.
