UNSPSC 50122502: Farm raised american lobster

In this classification, this entry represents the species of shellfish known as American Lobster, that was farm raised and harvested as an adult, and is not presumed to have grown as an organic and Non GMO species.

UNSPSC 50122502 Farm raised american lobster is a Commodity code that does not show meaningful recent purchasing activity under its nominal scope. While the code's title specifies a single seafood product, the recent opportunities tagged to it reflect school nutrition and municipal food procurement across Georgia — primarily frozen and fresh groceries, produce, dairy, grains, proteins (including some seafood items), and paper supplies for school lunch programs, food distribution operations, and county/municipal food service. The Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Houston County School District, Lamar County School District, Dougherty County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Treutlen County School Food Authority, and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners are among the repeat buyers issuing IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs. The State of Georgia also issued food procurement solicitations. These solicitations emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American provisions (requiring 51% domestic agricultural content for processed foods), HACCP plans, child nutrition standards, whole grain and low-sodium specifications, and E-Verify authorization; none specifically call for farm-raised lobster as a line item.

The code shows activity concentrated in Georgia school districts and county governments. Representative recent opportunities include Houston County School District's direct-delivery food, paper, and chemical bid (ITB 27-001, due April 17, 2026, approximately $14 million annually), Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution RFP (due February 18, 2026, approximately $9 million annually), and Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations (due August 6, 2026). A State of Georgia IFB for food products was posted May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026). The geographic footprint is predominantly Georgia, with no recent multistate activity visible in the block. The mismatch between the code's nominal seafood scope and actual school nutrition procurement suggests the code may be misapplied to general food service buys, or that farm-raised lobster represents an immaterial component of broader food service contracts — making pursuit under this code unlikely unless responding to a solicitation that explicitly specifies lobster as a line item.
