UNSPSC 50122507: Farm raised cockle

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

UNSPSC 50122507 Farm raised cockle is a Commodity code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source records show no solicitations matching this specific seafood commodity. Instead, the documented opportunities across Georgia jurisdictions from January through July 2026 focus on broader grocery and food service procurement — school nutrition programs, municipal food distribution, and institutional food supply — which typically source proteins, produce, dairy, and staples through general food service distributors rather than specialized shellfish suppliers. The code's narrow scope (farm-raised cockles as a distinct line item) falls outside the commodity-level buying patterns visible in current RFPs and IFBs.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the recent issuing-body mix, with Houston County, Douglas County, Dougherty County, Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County, Lamar County, Decatur City Schools, Treutlen County, and Gwinnett County all posting food service solicitations in the first half of 2026. The State of Georgia and Invest Atlanta (the city's economic development authority) issued broader food procurement RFPs and RFQs. Representative opportunities include Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct delivery of food, paper, and chemicals with approximately $14 million annual spend (bid due April 17, 2026), Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services with approximately $9 million annual spend (bid due February 18, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for grocery and food service supplies with bid opening June 29, 2026. All documented activity is concentrated in Georgia, primarily in school districts serving the Atlanta and central Georgia regions. The absence of cockle procurement in these records suggests the code is either not actively used at the state and local level or solicited so infrequently that it does not appear in current-year competitive opportunities.
