UNSPSC 50122405 Wild caught blue crab is a Commodity code that represents fresh or frozen crustacean products procured by state and local governments, though the recent solicitations tagged under this code show minimal activity directly aligned with blue crab purchasing. Instead, the code sees substantial food service activity across school nutrition programs, municipal groceries, and state food procurement focused on broader commodity categories including proteins, produce, dairy, and packaged goods for institutional feeding operations.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span multiple Georgia school districts (Houston County, Douglas County, Hancock County, Early County, Lamar County, Dougherty County, City Schools of Decatur, and Richmond County), the State of Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, and Invest Atlanta (a municipal economic development authority). School districts represent the dominant buyer segment, with repeated IFBs and RFPs for annual food service contracts serving tens of thousands of students across dozens of school sites. State-level food procurement and county-level supplemental grocery purchasing appear secondary. The most substantial recent opportunity is Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct-delivery food, paper, and chemicals valued at approximately $14 million annually with an estimated 350,000 cases. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 (food and supplies for three school locations, bid due June 26, 2026), Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (300+ food items across three schools, bid due June 8, 2026), Dougherty County Board of Education's IFB for approximately 300 line items across beverages, proteins, frozen and canned goods, and dairy (bid due May 19, 2026), and Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations in Priority Communities (proposals due August 6, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with no recent solicitations identified outside the state in the available records. All school district opportunities emphasize Buy American compliance (domestic content above 51% for processed foods), USDA Child Nutrition standards including whole grain and sodium specifications, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall capability, and firm fixed pricing with limited allowances for economic adjustments based on verified market documentation.
