UNSPSC 50122414: Wild caught geoduck clam

In this classification, this entry represents the species of shellfish known as Geoduck Clam, 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 50122414 Wild caught geoduck clam is a Commodity code that does not reflect the activity currently being procured under this classification in state and local markets. The recent opportunities tagged to this code consist entirely of school nutrition programs, municipal food distribution, and state food services solicitations seeking comprehensive grocery and food service supply contracts—none of which specifically procure geoduck clams or other wild-caught shellfish. The code's nominal scope (a single shellfish species) bears no relationship to the broad food procurement activity being captured in the dataset.

The issuing bodies across the identified opportunities span school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County, Lamar County, City Schools of Decatur, Dougherty County, Treutlen County, Houston County, Douglas County), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (State of Georgia), and development authorities (Invest Atlanta). The geographic concentration is heavily weighted toward Georgia, with recent IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs posted by school systems in Hancock, Early, Richmond, Lamar, Decatur, Dougherty, Treutlen, Houston, and Douglas counties, plus state-level procurements and a multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicle (GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 school districts across two geographic areas). Issued opportunities include Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 SNP Food Bid (due April 17, 2026), valued at approximately $14 million annually; Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 Food Supply and Distribution Services (due February 18, 2026) with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million; and Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for Food Distribution Services and Municipal Market Retail Operations (due August 6, 2026). The code assignment appears to be a classification error rather than a signal of active geoduck procurement in state and local markets.
