UNSPSC 50122411: Wild caught eastern oyster

In this classification, this entry represents the species of shellfish known as Eastern Oyster, 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 50122411 Wild caught eastern oyster is a Commodity code that frames a narrow seafood product line, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show minimal direct relevance to the code's scope. The sourced records document school nutrition procurement, municipal grocery market operations, supplemental county supplies, and state food service awards spanning Georgia — none of which explicitly reference wild caught oysters or seafood sourcing as a primary procurement target. School districts including Houston County, Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County, Lamar County, City Schools of Decatur, Treutlen County, and Dougherty County have issued IFBs and RFPs for food supply and direct delivery across multiple product categories (frozen items, dairy, produce, grains, proteins, and miscellaneous staples), and the State of Georgia has solicited food supplies and kitchen products; Invest Atlanta issued dual-track food distribution and municipal grocery market RFPs emphasizing Georgia-grown sourcing and low-income community access. These opportunities name proteins, produce, dairy, and staple items as procurement drivers, with compliance requirements including HACCP plans, Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed foods), food safety certifications, and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence depending on issuer and contract value.

The geographic concentration of activity centers on Georgia school systems and state agencies, with no opportunities in the recent record documenting wild caught eastern oyster procurement. The issuing bodies are predominantly public school districts (Houston County, Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County, Lamar County, City Schools of Decatur, Treutlen County, and Dougherty County) and one county government (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), plus the State of Georgia and Invest Atlanta. Response deadlines in the recent block span January through August 2026, with most school nutrition bids due in April and May 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal product (wild caught eastern oyster) and the sourced opportunities (comprehensive school nutrition and food service supply across multiple commodity categories) suggests either miscoding of the opportunities or low recent activity directly targeting shellfish procurement under this code within state and local government contracting.
