UNSPSC 50122417: Wild caught hardshell clam

In this classification, this entry represents the species of shellfish known as Hardshell 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 50122417 Wild caught hardshell clam is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant purchasing activity. The source contains no solicitations for clams or shellfish; instead, all sixteen recent opportunities from Georgia school districts, counties, and municipal entities are for comprehensive grocery and food service supplies, fresh produce, eggs, frozen foods, and general food distribution services where clams do not appear as specified line items or product categories.

School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education, Lamar County School District, City Schools of Decatur, Dougherty County Board of Education, Treutlen County School Food Authority, and Houston County School District all issuing IFBs and ITBs for school nutrition program supplies during the 2026–2027 fiscal year. The State of Georgia and a county government (Gwinnett County) each issued one procurement, and Invest Atlanta issued a municipal market food distribution RFP. Representative recent opportunities include Houston County School District's April 17, 2026 ITB 27-001 for direct delivery of food, paper, and chemical supplies valued at approximately $14 million annually, Douglas County School System's February 18, 2026 RFP for food supply and distribution services valued at approximately $9 million annually, and Hancock County Board of Education's June 26, 2026 IFB for school nutrition grocery supplies across over 1,200 line items. All activity identified is concentrated in Georgia, with no out-of-state opportunities present in the recent record. The code's nominal scope—wild caught hardshell clams—does not align with the actual purchasing patterns reflected in current state and local solicitations, which focus on bulk grocery, protein, produce, and food service distribution rather than specialty shellfish procurement.
