UNSPSC 50122433: Wild caught stone crab

In this classification, this entry represents the species of shellfish known as Stone 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 50122433 Wild caught stone crab is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh and frozen seafood products procured by state and local governments for school nutrition programs, municipal food distribution operations, and institutional food service. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal direct procurement of stone crab specifically; instead, the seafood category appears embedded within broader grocery and food service invitations that request proteins including fish, frozen seafood items, and prepared seafood products as line items within comprehensive food supply bids. School nutrition programs across Georgia represent the dominant issuing bodies, with multiple school districts—Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Schools, Richmond County Board of Education, Lamar County School District, City Schools of Decatur, Dougherty County Board of Education, Treutlen County Schools, Houston County School District, and Douglas County School System—soliciting food supply contracts that include seafood components. The State of Georgia and Invest Atlanta (for municipal grocery market operations) also issue food procurement notices that may encompass seafood. The procurement activity is concentrated in Georgia, with recent opportunities posted between January and July 2026.

Representative recent solicitations illustrate the context: Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) encompasses over 1,200 line items including proteins and seafood products for three schools; Early County Schools' food bid (due June 8, 2026) specifies meats, poultry, and seafood across three schools; Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 (due April 17, 2026) values the direct delivery food contract at approximately $14 million annually across 39 schools; and Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) sought a main-line distributor for approximately $9 million annually serving 32 schools. All of these solicitations specify compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans, food safety certification, and USDA Child Nutrition standards. None of the posted opportunities highlight stone crab as a primary procurement focus; the code's activity appears to be driven by seafood as a minor component within much larger institutional food supply contracts rather than as a standalone commodity line.
