In this classification, this entry represents the species of shellfish known as Pacific White 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 50122522 Farm raised pacific white shrimp is a Commodity code. State and local governments purchase seafood products under this code primarily through school nutrition programs, municipal food distribution initiatives, and county or state food service contracts that source protein for institutional meal programs. The recent solicitations show that shrimp and other seafood items appear as line items within broader grocery and food service procurement categories rather than as standalone specialty purchases. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with multiple Georgia school systems—Houston County, Dougherty County, Early County, Lamar County, Richmond County, and Hancock County—soliciting food products through IFBs and RFQs that include seafood specifications. The State of Georgia and Invest Atlanta also issue food procurement solicitations; Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution and municipal market retail operations signals emerging interest in food security and community food access beyond traditional school nutrition. Set-asides appear in some school district solicitations as encouragement rather than mandate, with domestic sourcing preferences and Buy American compliance requirements (51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed foods) appearing consistently across school nutrition contracts.

Georgia dominates recent activity under this code, with substantially all posted opportunities from Georgia state agencies, counties, and school districts. The geographic concentration reflects Georgia's active school nutrition procurement calendar aligned with fiscal year cycles (July 1 through June 30 contracts). Representative recent opportunities include Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 SNP Food Bid (posted March 13, 2026, due April 17, 2026) seeking direct delivery of food, paper, and chemical supplies with approximately $14 million annual value and an estimated 350,000 cases annually; Dougherty County Board of Education's IFB for groceries supporting the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs (posted April 13, 2026, due May 19, 2026) covering approximately 300 line items across multiple food categories; and Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food products. The Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026) sought a main-line food service distributor to provide and deliver food products across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. All school district solicitations emphasize USDA compliance, whole-grain and low-sodium standards, HACCP plans, 24/7 recall accessibility, and firm fixed pricing including packing and transportation with no fuel surcharges.
