UNSPSC 50122174: Farm raised sablefish

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

UNSPSC 50122174 Farm raised sablefish, a Commodity code, encompasses seafood products procured by state and local jurisdictions for institutional food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. The code sees application in large-volume, multi-item food service solicitations where sablefish or fish products appear as line items within broader grocery and protein procurement. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers treating fish and seafood as components of comprehensive food-supply contracts rather than sole-source purchases; fish sticks, for instance, were solicited by Georgia's Department of Administrative Services for Georgia Correctional Industries as part of incremental 40,000-pound purchase orders with all-inclusive delivery pricing. School nutrition programs—particularly Early County Board of Education and Richmond County Board of Education in Georgia—include seafood items (meats, poultry, and seafood categories) in their National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program procurement, with strict adherence to USDA Grade A standards, whole-grain and nutrition specifications, and Buy American domestic-content requirements over 51 percent for food products.

Activity under this code is concentrated in Georgia, where school districts (Early County, Richmond County, Hancock County) and state agencies (Georgia Department of Administrative Services, State of Georgia) issued multiple food-service solicitations between May and October 2026. Representative opportunities include Georgia's Department of Administrative Services RFQ 92100ERFQ0020702027 for fish sticks due October 12, 2026, requiring electronic submission through the GA@Work portal with 40,000-pound delivery increments; Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for school nutrition grocery supplies due June 26, 2026, encompassing over 1,200 line items across proteins, produce, and non-food supplies; and Richmond County Board of Education RFQ #26-204 for grocery products through June 30, 2028, with firm pricing for three months and F.O.B. delivery to individual schools Monday through Wednesday, 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. All contracts mandate vendor compliance with E-Verify, HACCP plans, $500,000 general liability insurance, and debarment verification for bids exceeding $25,000, with no separate fuel surcharges permitted and all freight and transportation included in unit pricing.
