UNSPSC 50111515 Chicken, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that frames state and local government procurement of processed chicken products for institutional food service — primarily school districts, state health and human services facilities, and other public food-service operations. Recent solicitations show demand for finished chicken products spanning breaded patties, fillets, nuggets, tenderloins, and shredded chicken, all fully cooked and individually quick frozen to meet meal-service specifications; the code also captures whole or minimally processed fresh chicken supplied to institutional kitchens. State and local food-service buyers issue RFPs and IFBs under this code to establish annual or multi-year supply contracts with pricing typically submitted as firm per-case or per-serving rates. Issuing bodies include school districts, state health and human services commissions supplying state-supported living centers and correctional or residential facilities, and county boards of education; these jurisdictions often seek multiple awards and allow for volume flexibility across contract terms. Vendors must typically meet Buy American provisions, maintain HACCP food safety plans, carry food recall procedures, comply with E-Verify and state employment eligibility verification, and demonstrate past vendor performance through verified reference checks or state tracking systems.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with solicitations spanning Cherokee County School District (Georgia RFP for chicken processing services, due June 11, 2026), Early County Board of Education (Georgia line-item food bid due June 8, 2026), the State of Georgia (food supplies and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period spend of $1.5 million). A third opportunity — Cornish Game Hen (S2910000017577, due August 6, 2026) — posted in July 2026 but no substantive solicitation details are available. School districts typically seek 300+ line items of food and non-food supplies with annual contract terms running July through June and options to extend or renew; state-level facilities often accept pricing adjustments indexed to the Consumer Price Index. Payment terms range from net 30 to net 60 days, and minimum production runs are common, with typical truckload volumes at 36,000 pounds.
