UNSPSC 50122504: Farm raised black tiger shrimp

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

UNSPSC 50122504 Farm raised black tiger shrimp is a Commodity code that spans aquaculture protein procurement under state and local food-service solicitations, particularly school nutrition programs and municipal food distribution operations. The code sees active demand through school district IFBs and RFPs seeking frozen seafood and protein items, though shrimp appears as one line item within broader grocery and entree procurement rather than as a standalone category; school districts solicit shrimp as part of comprehensive Food, Paper, and Chemical supply bids that cover proteins, frozen items, produce, and dairy across multiple vendors or single-source food service distributors.

Demand concentrates in Georgia school districts and state education agencies, with issuing bodies including the Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Lamar County School District, Richmond County Board of Education (Augusta), Dougherty County Board of Education (Albany), City Schools of Decatur, Houston County School District, Douglas County School System, and the State of Georgia procurement office. Representative recent opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) soliciting line-by-line bids on over 1,200 food service items across proteins, produce, and supplies for three school locations; the Houston County School District ITB 27-001 (due April 17, 2026) seeking direct-delivery food, paper, and chemical suppliers serving approximately 39 schools with estimated annual procurement of approximately $14 million and 350,000 cases; and the Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) for main-line food supply and distribution services supporting approximately 32,000 daily meals across 32 schools with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. All school nutrition solicitations mandate Buy American compliance (51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP certification, general liability insurance ($500,000 to $1,000,000 minimum), and adherence to USDA Child Nutrition standards including whole grain and sodium reduction requirements, with most contracts running July 1 through June 30 and permitting multi-year renewal options.
