UNSPSC 50122434: Wild caught surf clam

In this classification, this entry represents the species of shellfish known as Surf 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 50122434 Wild caught surf clam is a Commodity code that encompasses procurement of fresh and frozen shellfish products for state and local institutions, though recent state and local opportunities show minimal direct activity under this specific code. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code predominantly reflect school nutrition program food procurement — a much broader category spanning proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and non-food supplies — rather than targeted procurement of surf clam or other wild-caught shellfish. The issuing bodies conducting these procurements include Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County, Lamar County, City Schools of Decatur, Dougherty County, Treutlen County, and Houston County), the State of Georgia, and Invest Atlanta. The mix reflects typical state and local nutrition buyers: school food authorities conducting annual or multi-year food service contracts through IFB and RFQ vehicles, coupled with one economic development-focused municipal procurement by Invest Atlanta for food distribution and retail grocery operations in Atlanta's Priority Communities.

Geographic concentration is heavily concentrated in Georgia, with secondary activity visible through state-level procurement by the State of Georgia Department of Education or analogous entities. Representative recent opportunities include the Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct delivery of food, paper, and chemicals valued at approximately $14 million annually with 350,000 estimated annual cases (bid due April 17, 2026); the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million serving 32 schools (proposal due February 18, 2026); and Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations seeking food distributors with a minimum 10 percent Georgia-based producer sourcing requirement and a three-year initial term (proposals due August 6, 2026). None of these recent procurements specifically target wild-caught surf clam or shellfish as a line item or primary commodity.
