UNSPSC 50110000: Meat and poultry products

UNSPSC 50110000 Meat and poultry products is a Family code covering the procurement of fresh, frozen, and pre-packaged meat and poultry items—including ground beef, beef patties, poultry products, turkey franks, and processed meats—supplied to state and local correctional facilities, school districts, parks and recreation departments, and senior nutrition programs. State and local governments are sourcing these products primarily through correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and municipal food services; Colorado Department of Corrections dominates recent activity with multiple monthly meat and cheese RFQs, while school districts (Harlandale ISD in San Antonio, Northside ISD in San Antonio) and county sheriffs' offices (Orange County, Santa Clara County) also solicit regularly under the code. The work spans frozen meat specifications for inmate meals, refrigerated delivery of holiday proteins for school winter break programs, and commodity-level frozen meat and cheese for correctional food service warehouses.

Colorado Department of Corrections has posted at least six documented quotes for meat and cheese products since July 2026, including DQ 2027000009 (September meat and cheese, quotes due July 18, 2026), DQ 2027000060 (October meat and cheese, quotes due August 19, 2026), and DQ 2027000126 (December meat and cheese, quotes due October 16, 2026), each specifying frozen beef, poultry, turkey products, and American, cheddar, and mozzarella cheeses in 5,000–40,000 pound quantities per line item with F.O.B. Destination pricing and firm pricing requirements. Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Department (California) solicited pre-packaged luncheon meat under IFB 0602521003CCC (bids due October 27, 2023, posted October 9, 2026), and Harlandale ISD solicited tom turkeys and spiral hams under ITB 270004 (bids due October 15, 2026) for December delivery. Colorado maintains consistent monthly cycles with strict quality standards (NAMP compliance, kosher certification where required, minimum shelf life and production-date requirements), 30-day criminal background investigation mandates, and $1 million commercial general liability insurance minimums. Activity concentrates in Colorado, California, and Texas; Colorado dominates with weekly to monthly RFQ cycles for correctional system supply. Set-asides for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses appear in select Colorado solicitations with 5 percent preference pricing.
