UNSPSC 50111513 Beef, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that reflects state and local procurement of frozen and fresh beef cuts—primarily boneless strip steaks and ground products—for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and health and human services institutions. The solicitations under this code show state departments of corrections and criminal justice dominating the buyer base, supplemented by school districts, county boards of education, health and human services agencies, and specialized food service operators. These agencies source beef products to meet institutional meal requirements across detention facilities, living centers, nutrition programs, and food service operations, with specifications typically requiring USDA-grade products delivered in bulk quantities and meeting detailed nutritional, food safety, and packaging standards.

The code shows consistent recent activity across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted four nearly simultaneous solicitations in mid-October 2026 for boneless beef strip steaks to Palestine, Corpus Christi, and Snyder facilities under ITB notices IW267710, IW267706, IW267690, and IW267684, all with response dates of October 20–21, 2026, executed through the Bonfire Hub procurement portal and managed by Procurement Officer Marie-Ange Jackson. The Georgia Department of Corrections and Georgia Correctional Industries have posted multiple parallel solicitations for beef-related products (beef patties, beef trim and fat, and processed meats) with electronic bid-only submission requirements and all-inclusive FOB Destination pricing that excludes separate freight reimbursement. Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited boneless pork loin and ground poultry in bulk, applying a combined 10 percent Oregon-vendor preference (5 percent for fabrication and 5 percent for resident headquarters). The code shows particular density in correctional-food procurement; state and local facilities sourcing beef products represent the dominant recent activity, with contract awards typically going to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting detailed specifications.
