UNSPSC 50122509: Farm raised crayfish

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

UNSPSC 50122509 Farm raised crayfish is a Commodity code. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal alignment with farm-raised crayfish procurement; instead, issuing bodies are buying comprehensive food distribution and grocery supply services, with school districts and county education systems dominating the activity. The code's nominal scope — farm-raised crayfish — does not match the bulk of recent opportunities, which center on broad-based food service procurement including frozen items, produce, dairy, proteins, grains, and paper/chemical supplies for school nutrition programs, municipal grocery operations, and state agency food services. State of Georgia is procuring food products and related services for state agencies and institutions; Invest Atlanta is seeking both a retail grocery operator and a food distributor to serve Priority Communities in Atlanta with minimum sourcing requirements for Georgia-based producers; and multiple county school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County, Lamar County, Dougherty County, Treutlen County, Houston County, and Douglas County) are soliciting direct-delivery food suppliers through IFB and ITB notices.

Georgia school districts represent the heaviest concentration of recent activity under this code, with procurement spanning food, paper, and chemical products, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and specialty items such as Georgia-grown ground beef. The Invest Atlanta RFP (due August 6, 2026) seeks retail grocery and food distribution services with substantial economic incentives; Houston County School District's direct-delivery food procurement (ITB 27-001, due April 17, 2026) is valued at approximately $14 million annually with 350,000 cases estimated; and Douglas County School System's main-line food distributor procurement (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026) targets approximately $9 million annually to serve 32 schools. All school district solicitations require Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, food safety and recall protocols, and compliance with USDA Child Nutrition standards including whole-grain, sodium, and trans-fat specifications. The overwhelming preponderance of recent opportunities involves comprehensive grocery and food service distribution rather than farm-raised crayfish as a standalone product line, suggesting this code may be misclassified for the actual procurement activity occurring or that crayfish procurement under this code is dormant in state and local markets.
