UNSPSC 50122517: Farm raised hardshell clam

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

UNSPSC 50122517 Farm raised hardshell clam (Commodity) does not appear in any of the recent state and local procurement opportunities in the source. The solicitations posted between January and July 2026 focus overwhelmingly on school nutrition programs, municipal grocery markets, and food service supply at state and county levels, but none name clams or shellfish as a line item or procurement category. The opportunities span school districts (Houston County, Hancock County, Early County, Lamar County, Richmond County, Dougherty County, Treutlen County, City Schools of Decatur, and Douglas County in Georgia), state agencies (State of Georgia food procurement), county commissioners (Gwinnett County), and municipal entities (Invest Atlanta), with the largest single procurement valued at approximately $14 million annually (Houston County School District). Frozen proteins, fresh produce, dairy, grains, beverages, and condiments dominate the scope, with extensive line-item detail across hundreds of SKUs per solicitation, yet no evidence of clam procurement emerges across the dataset.

The geographic concentration is entirely Georgia, reflecting the source's roster of state and local issuers. The lack of clam-specific activity under this code may reflect either minimal demand for farm-raised hardshell clams in state and local school nutrition, municipal market, and food service supply chains, or a systematic tagging misalignment between the commodity code and actual procurement practice. Prospective vendors in shellfish supply should treat this code as dormant in the current market window and monitor the next cycle for any signals of fresh or frozen clam demand.
