UNSPSC 50122532: Farm raised squid

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

UNSPSC 50122532 Farm raised squid is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code involve school nutrition programs, municipal food distribution, and supplemental grocery procurement — none of which specifically reference squid or other farmed aquaculture products. The sourcing patterns across these opportunities emphasize proteins, fresh produce, dairy, and pantry staples for school meals, senior services, and municipal grocery operations, but farm-raised squid does not appear in the line-item specifications, bid schedules, or product categories detailed in any of the solicitations.

School districts in Georgia (Houston County, Lamar County, Hancock County, Early County, Dougherty County, Richmond County, and Decatur City Schools) and the State of Georgia itself have issued multiple IFBs and RFPs for school nutrition suppliers, typically specifying proteins such as beef, chicken, turkey, pork, and fish but not squid. The Douglas County School System's RFP for a main-line food service distributor valued at approximately $9,000,000 annually and Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for food distribution and municipal market retail operations represent the largest recent opportunities in the dataset, yet neither targets aquaculture or mollusks. The code shows no actionable procurement momentum for farm-raised squid at the state or local level during the 2026 opportunity window.
