UNSPSC 50111513 Beef, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that covers minimally processed beef products without additives or preparation—ground beef, beef patties, and muscle cuts ready for institutional food service. State and local governments procure beef under this code primarily for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and human services agencies serving children and vulnerable populations. Issuing bodies are diverse: school districts (both independent and consolidated systems), state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, state-supported residential facilities, and special-purpose child nutrition services boards. School districts dominate the recent activity, ranging from small rural districts to large urban systems like Fairfax County Public Schools and Henry County Schools in Georgia. Correctional agencies and youth detention centers in Georgia, Oregon, and Nevada also drive regular recurring volume. Contracts typically run 12 months with renewal options extending to five years, and evaluation emphasizes unit price alongside product quality, compliance with USDA nutritional standards, delivery reliability, and responsiveness to procurement set-asides and preferences.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Nevada, Virginia, and Missouri. Representative opportunities include Head Start of Greater Dallas's solicitation (IFB 26-GP, posted June 2026, due June 24, 2026) for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen and fresh meat products across primary, secondary, and tertiary suppliers under a $969,460.94 estimated value with a weighted-criteria evaluation emphasizing unit price and product quality; the Oregon Department of Corrections' recurring chicken strip, turkey, and pork solicitations (ITBs S-29100-00016886, S-29100-00017165, posted May–June 2026) with 30–45 day delivery windows, FOB Destination pricing with freight prepaid, and 5–10 percent Oregon-vendor preferences; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, posted April 2026, due April 27, 2026) spanning 52 schools with weekly deliveries and firm pricing for 365 days post-award. School districts and state agencies consistently require HACCP compliance, six-month minimum shelf life, General Liability insurance of $1,000,000 or greater, and adherence to Buy American Act provisions and USDA nutritional standards for child and adult care programs.
