UNSPSC 50192113: Dried shellfish and fish fillet

A food that is seasoned and processed or dried by changing the original form of fish or shellfish.

UNSPSC 50192113 Dried shellfish and fish fillet, a Commodity code, shows minimal direct recent activity despite the code's specificity — the posted opportunities do not feature dried shellfish or fish products as a primary procurement focus. The recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code predominantly address broader food procurement for school nutrition programs, municipal food distribution, and state agency foodservice, with fresh and frozen proteins dominating specifications rather than dried shellfish or fillets. When seafood appears in the recent bids, it is typically fresh or frozen (breaded pollock, for example, in the Gwinnett County supplemental groceries IB and the Houston County School District direct-delivery ITBs), not dried forms. The issuing bodies are almost entirely Georgia school districts—Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education, Lamar County School District, Dougherty County Board of Education, Treutlen County School Food Authority, City Schools of Decatur, Houston County School District, and Douglas County School System—supplemented by the State of Georgia procurement office and municipal entities such as Invest Atlanta. The narrow activity observed suggests the code may be misapplied to broader seafood or protein procurement rather than identifying a genuine market for dried shellfish products in state and local contracting.

The geographic concentration is entirely Georgia, with recent opportunities spanning early 2026 through July 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the Houston County School District's ITB 27-001 for direct delivery of food, paper, and chemicals (posted March 13, 2026, due April 17, 2026), valued at approximately $14 million annually with 350,000 cases expected; the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026), with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000; and the State of Georgia's IFB Food IFB #1 2027-2026 (posted April 20, 2026, due June 1, 2026). The lack of dried shellfish or fish fillet specificity across these opportunities, combined with consistent emphasis on fresh proteins, frozen products, and USDA compliance, signals that this code either receives minimal state and local procurement volume or is applied inconsistently to general seafood and protein categories.
