UNSPSC 50122421: Wild caught pacific oyster

In this classification, this entry represents the species of shellfish known as Pacific 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 50122421 Wild caught pacific oyster is a Commodity code that nominally identifies seafood products, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not align with the code's scope. The opportunities in the dataset consistently solicit comprehensive grocery supply, food distribution, and school nutrition services—encompassing proteins, produce, dairy, grains, frozen items, paper products, and chemicals—rather than wild-caught oysters or seafood specifically. The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and actual procurement activity suggests either a systematic tagging error in the sourcing system or that this code has been repurposed for broader food commodity procurement within the issuing jurisdictions.

The issuing bodies are predominantly Georgia school districts at the county and municipal level, supplemented by one state-level procurement (Georgia Department of Education) and one regional economic-development entity (Invest Atlanta). School nutrition programs dominate the activity: 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, Houston County School District, and Douglas County School System have all posted IFBs, RFPs, or RFQs for food and supply contracts during 2026. Recent opportunities also include procurement by Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (supplemental groceries) and the State of Georgia (general food supplies). Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia, with all sixteen recent opportunities originating from Georgia state, county, or municipal entities. Representative recent solicitations include Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct delivery of food, paper, and chemicals with an estimated annual value of approximately $14 million and 350,000 cases (bid due April 17, 2026); Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 (sealed proposals due February 18, 2026); and Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations in Priority Communities (proposals due August 6, 2026). School districts typically issue IFBs with firm fixed pricing and weekly delivery requirements; Invest Atlanta's approach is more complex, seeking both a retail grocery operator and a food distributor with sourcing mandates favoring Georgia-based suppliers and community hiring.
