UNSPSC 50122410: Wild caught dungeness crab

In this classification, this entry represents the species of shellfish known as Dungeness Crab, that was raised in the wild and harvested as an adult, and is presumed to have grown as an organic and Non GMO species.

UNSPSC 50122410 Wild caught dungeness crab is a Commodity code that maps poorly to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's scope nominally covers a single seafood product line, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code overwhelmingly solicit broad food service procurement—primarily grocery and food-service supply contracts for school nutrition programs, municipal food distribution, and state institutional dining. The mismatch suggests tagging inconsistency rather than active demand for wild caught dungeness crab specifically. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with multiple Georgia school nutrition programs (Houston County, Dougherty County, Lamar County, Early County, Hancock County, Richmond County, and others) and independent city school systems (City Schools of Decatur, Douglas County) posting IFBs and RFPs for comprehensive food supply. The State of Georgia and Gwinnett County also appear as buyers. None of the recent solicitations identify dungeness crab as a line item or call out crustaceans as a specification category; instead, the contracts enumerate frozen proteins, dairy, produce, grains, condiments, and prepared foods across hundreds of line items per solicitation.

Georgia accounts for all recent activity, with school districts concentrated in central and southeastern Georgia (Houston County, Dougherty County in Albany, Lamar County, Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County in Augusta, Treutlen County) and Atlanta-area systems (City Schools of Decatur, Douglas County near Douglasville). The State of Georgia procurement office and Gwinnett County represent state and county-level buyers. Representative opportunities include Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct delivery food, paper, and chemical supplies (April 17, 2026 deadline, approximately $14 million annually), Dougherty County Board of Education's IFB for groceries supporting the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs (May 19, 2026 deadline, 22 school sites across the district), and Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services (February 18, 2026 deadline, approximately $9 million annually for 32 schools). Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations (August 6, 2026 deadline) represents the only non-school-system buyer. The activity is active but the Commodity code's nominal product category appears to be a classification artifact; business development should treat this code as unreliable and focus instead on broader Family or Class codes governing food service procurement if pursuing school nutrition and institutional food supply contracts.
