UNSPSC 50122510: Farm raised dungeness crab

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

UNSPSC 50122510 Farm raised dungeness crab is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within seafood procurement, yet recent state and local activity shows minimal direct purchasing under this specific code. Instead, the opportunities tagged to it reflect a much broader pattern: state and local buyers—particularly school districts, county boards of education, and municipal development authorities—are sourcing food through large, consolidated grocery and food service procurements that bundle proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and supplies into single solicitations. When seafood appears in these opportunities, it is listed as one line item among hundreds; the Commodity code for farm-raised dungeness crab does not align with the actual structure of state and local food procurement today.

School districts across Georgia dominate the recent activity, issuing IFBs and RFPs for school nutrition programs that span fiscal years 2026–2027 and 2027–2028. Recent solicitations from Hancock County Board of Education (IFB due June 26, 2026), Early County Schools (IFB due June 8, 2026), Richmond County Schools (RFQ #26-204 due May 27, 2026), Lamar County Schools (IFBs due May 20, 2026), City Schools of Decatur (IFB due May 15, 2026), Dougherty County Schools (IFB due May 19, 2026), Treutlen County Schools (IFB due May 27, 2026), Houston County Schools (ITBs due April 16–17, 2026), and Douglas County Schools (RFP due February 18, 2026) show that procurement is organized by broad product categories—frozen items, dairy, produce, proteins, grains, paper, and chemicals—rather than by individual species. The Houston County solicitation, valued at approximately $14 million annually, exemplifies the scale and consolidation at work. State-level activity includes Georgia Department of Education food procurements and an Invest Atlanta RFP (due August 6, 2026) for food distribution and municipal market retail operations in Priority Communities. Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, insurance requirements ($500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability), and USDA whole-grain and sodium standards are standard across all recent opportunities. A Gwinnett County supplemental grocery procurement (due May 6, 2026) and Douglas County produce-and-eggs RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026, estimated $5.5 million annually across 30 districts) confirm that cooperative purchasing vehicles are common in the region. The code shows no standalone or recurring demand for farm-raised dungeness crab; pursue only if your firm supplies broad-line protein or seafood distribution to school nutrition programs and can bid competitively into consolidated line-item solicitations.
