UNSPSC 50111514 Pork, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy primarily to supply institutional food service operations — prisons, youth detention centers, school districts, and Head Start programs — where minimally processed pork products (boneless loins, ground products, and fabricated cuts) serve as cost-effective protein for high-volume meal production. Recent solicitations show state correctional departments and county school nutrition programs are the dominant buyers, with occasional procurement by state-supported living centers and specialized youth facilities. The work is straightforward: vendors supply specification-driven pork products meeting USDA grade and safety standards, deliver to central warehouses on firm fixed-price FOB destination terms, maintain minimum shelf life and insurance requirements, and often bid against other protein suppliers in larger grocery or commodity contracts.

Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have posted multiple pork-related solicitations in the past six months, with most activity concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB for approximately 40,000 pounds of boneless pork loins (UNSPSC 50111514 equivalent) due April 24, 2026, with prior award at $1.658 per pound to Good Source Solutions; Georgia Correctional Industries solicited ham (a pork product) due April 6, 2026, with delivery to Milledgeville cold storage; and Early County Board of Education in Georgia sought line-by-line meat bids including pork products due June 8, 2026, emphasizing domestic sourcing and delivery to three school sites. Pricing is typically firm for 30 days post-award, with transportation and fuel surcharges included in per-pound or per-case quotes. Oregon applies a 5 percent preference for in-state processing and an additional 5 percent for resident bidders. School districts and state agencies generally award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting USDA grade, food safety, and delivery specifications, with contracts running one to two years plus renewal options.
