UNSPSC 50122428: Wild caught snow crab

In this classification, this entry represents the species of shellfish known as Snow Crab, 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 50122428 Wild caught snow crab is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a specific seafood product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevance to frozen or fresh snow crab purchasing. The code appears in the opportunites dataset alongside school district food service and nutrition program solicitations that span proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and non-food supplies—but snow crab itself does not feature prominently or distinctly in the actual line-item specifications, bid response forms, or product lists posted by issuing bodies. School districts, county boards of education, and city school systems in Georgia dominate the recent contracting activity, with most opportunities tagged under broad food commodity procurement rather than targeted shellfish sourcing.

The issuing bodies include Georgia school districts (Houston County School District, Douglas County School System, Dougherty County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Lamar County School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education, Treutlen County School Food Authority), the State of Georgia, Invest Atlanta, and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners. Recent opportunities span IFBs, RFQs, and RFPs for school nutrition programs, municipal market operations, and supplemental grocery procurement. Geographic concentration is entirely Georgia-based, with recent activity concentrated in the Atlanta metro area and rural Georgia school districts. Representative recent solicitations include the Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct delivery of food, paper, and chemicals (posted March 13, 2026, due April 17, 2026, valued at approximately $14 million annually), the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026, estimated annual expenditure approximately $9 million), and Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations (posted July 6, 2026, due August 6, 2026). None of these solicitations emphasize or isolate wild-caught snow crab as a procurement focus; the code assignment appears misaligned with the actual scope of work being bought.
