UNSPSC 50122418 Wild caught jonah crab is a Commodity code that covers fresh seafood procurement in state and local government — specifically wild-caught crustaceans sourced for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show jonah crab appearing as a line item in comprehensive grocery and food distribution RFPs and IFBs issued by school districts, county boards of education, and municipal economic development authorities across Georgia. State and local procurement under this code typically bundles wild-caught proteins alongside frozen meats, poultry, dairy, and produce within larger food service contracts rather than as standalone commodity purchases. The issuing bodies range from independent school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County, Lamar County, Dougherty County, Treutlen County, City Schools of Decatur, Houston County) to county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County), to state-level agencies and economic development entities (State of Georgia, Invest Atlanta). School nutrition programs dominate the buyer base, with districts across Georgia regularly soliciting direct-delivery food suppliers through competitive IFB and RFQ processes.

Geographic activity clusters heavily in Georgia, with recent opportunities posted by school districts in central, south-central, and metro Atlanta regions — Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County (Augusta), Lamar County, Dougherty County (Albany), Treutlen County, Decatur, Houston County (Warner Robins), Douglas County, and Gwinnett County — alongside state procurement and Invest Atlanta's municipal market development initiative. Representative recent solicitations include the Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct delivery of food, paper, and chemicals with a response deadline of April 17, 2026, valued at approximately $14 million annually and requiring 95% fill rates; the Dougherty County Board of Education's IFB for groceries supporting the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs due May 19, 2026, spanning 22 school sites and approximately 300 line items including proteins; and the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services with a February 18, 2026 response date, requiring main-line distributor capacity to service 32 schools and approximately 32,000 meals daily at $9 million estimated annual expenditure. School districts universally require Buy American compliance (51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and $500,000 to $2 million liability insurance. Pricing is firm and fixed with quarterly or mid-year adjustment allowances only when supported by third-party market documentation; fuel surcharges are prohibited, and transportation is included in all quoted prices.
