UNSPSC 50122531: Farm raised squat lobster

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

UNSPSC 50122531 Farm raised squat lobster is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct procurement activity from state and local government buyers based on recent solicitation records. The code appears in source data primarily as a tag applied to broader food procurement opportunities rather than as a discrete product line being actively solicited. School districts, county boards of education, and municipal agencies across Georgia and surrounding regions issue regular invitations for competitive food service procurement—IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs for grocery suppliers, food distributors, and school nutrition program vendors—but these solicitations focus on staple proteins, frozen and fresh produce, dairy, grains, and prepared convenience foods serving student meal programs and institutional cafeterias. Farm-raised squat lobster does not appear as a line item or specification in any of the representative recent opportunities in the source block.

State and local food procurement activity clusters heavily among Georgia school districts (Houston County, Dougherty County, Treutlen County, Lamar County, Richmond County, Early County, Hancock County, Douglas County, and City Schools of Decatur), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County), and municipal economic development entities (Invest Atlanta). These buyers solicit food vendors through sealed-bid IFBs and RFPs with response deadlines typically 30 to 60 days from posting, with contract periods running July 1 through June 30 annually and emphasizing Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, and USDA Child Nutrition label compliance. Representative procurements include the Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct food delivery valued at approximately $14 million annually (bid deadline April 17, 2026), Douglas County's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services totaling approximately $9 million annually (sealed proposals due February 18, 2026), and Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations in Priority Communities (proposals due August 6, 2026). No active solicitations in the source target farm-raised squat lobster or similar specialty shellfish products for state or local government use.
