UNSPSC 50111515 Chicken, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fully-cooked, processed chicken products for school nutrition programs, state institutional food service, and residential facilities. Recent solicitations show demand for minimally processed chicken items including breaded patties, fillets, nuggets, strips, popcorn chicken, and shredded chicken, typically individually quick frozen and meeting USDA commodity or processed-product specifications with defined sodium limits, whole-grain breading percentages, and allergen compliance. School districts and state agencies dominate recent activity, with Cherokee County School District (Georgia), DeKalb County School District (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posting solicitations in the past two months. These issuing bodies source chicken for National School Lunch Program compliance, state residential facility food service, and school breakfast programs, often bundling chicken procurement with broader food-service RFPs that include produce, dairy, and non-food supplies but isolating chicken as a distinct commodity line when vendor specialization is required.

Recent opportunities span Georgia and Texas. Cherokee County School District issued RFP CP2026 on May 28, 2026, due June 11, 2026, seeking fourteen chicken product line items with projected annual usage of 196 to 1,078 cases and Addendum No. 1 clarifying specifications; the district reserved the right to award to multiple proposers. DeKalb County School District issued ITB 26-729 on February 26, 2026, due March 31, 2026, for USDA product processing services including poultry items (drumsticks, wings, popcorn chicken, bone-in and whole muscle chicken), with a virtual pre-bid conference on March 17, 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services posted IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026, for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior 12-month period and questions due June 22, 2026. Early County Board of Education posted its FY27 food bid on May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026, for approximately 300+ food items including poultry across three schools. Most opportunities require Buy American compliance (domestic content over 51 percent), HACCP plans with recall capability, general liability insurance of $1 million to $2 million, and firm pricing for the contract term with adjustments permitted only at issuer discretion or upon documented index changes.
