UNSPSC 50111516 Beef, minimally processed with additions — a Commodity code — covers minimally processed beef products with added ingredients or modifications, as state and local governments purchase them for institutional food service. Recent solicitations show school districts, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs acquiring ground beef, beef patties, and finished beef products to meet USDA nutrition and food safety standards for meal programs. The issuing-body mix spans school districts (Early County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Henry County Schools), state departments and agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Nevada Youth Training Center, Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice, Georgia Correctional Industries), and regional cooperatives (Douglas County School System through GEC Buying Cooperative). These jurisdictions solicit beef products as line items within broader food procurement — typically alongside poultry, pork, produce, and dairy — rather than as standalone beef-only buys. Georgia Correctional Industries and Oregon Department of Corrections each post multiple meat solicitations quarterly, making them repeat buyers. School districts and state agencies emphasize USDA Grade specifications, HACCP compliance, sodium and fat limits, and minimum shelf life at delivery.

Recent solicitations cluster in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Nevada, Missouri, Virginia) with heaviest activity in Georgia through its correctional and juvenile justice departments and school nutrition programs. Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education (Invitation for Bid, food items including meats, due June 8, 2026); Georgia Correctional Industries (Ground Beef & Beef Patties, due April 15, 2026, and Breakfast Patties with turkey option, due April 15, 2026); Oregon Department of Corrections (multiple poultry and processed-meat ITBs between February and June 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools (Master Grocery K-12 including beef products, IFB due April 27, 2026); and Head Start of Greater Dallas (Invitation for Bids for grocery products including meat, due June 24, 2026, $969,460.94 total estimated value). Pricing across recent awards ranges from $0.68 to $2.94 per pound depending on product form and processing level, with contracts typically running one year with renewal options and firm fixed pricing or CPI-indexed adjustment provisions. Vendors must carry $500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability insurance, meet federal debarment and E-Verify requirements, and comply with Buy American and USDA procurement grade mandates.
