UNSPSC 50111527 Specialty meat, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as prepared protein items for institutional food service—cooked whole turkey, ground poultry, boneless pork loins, chicken leg quarters, ground chicken, and breakfast patties delivered ready or nearly ready for meal preparation. Jurisdictions soliciting under this code span state correctional departments, state health and human services agencies, county and municipal school districts, Head Start programs, and juvenile justice facilities. Oregon Department of Corrections appears repeatedly as a high-volume buyer, regularly bidding for cooked poultry, ground poultry, and pork products in quantities of 40,000 to 200,000 pounds per procurement. Georgia Correctional Industries, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Nevada Youth Training Center, and multiple school nutrition programs also drive consistent activity. Evaluation typically weights unit price heavily, followed by product quality, delivery capability, and specification compliance; Oregon applies a ten percent combined state-preference discount (five percent for Oregon-processed goods, five percent for Oregon-headquartered vendors), and some jurisdictions extend preferences to small or minority-owned businesses. Recent solicitations emphasize HACCP compliance, USDA Procurement Grade B or better standards, minimum six-month shelf life at delivery, FOB destination pricing with freight prepaid, and cold-chain integrity through commercial-grade packaging and palletization.

Geographic concentration spans Oregon (ODOC), Georgia (multiple state agencies and school districts), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, and school districts), and Nevada, with additional activity in Missouri, Virginia, and scattered school districts nationally. The Oregon Department of Corrections' recurring buys for raw and cooked poultry, pork loins, and ground products at 30,000- to 200,000-pound volumes represent the largest recent pattern. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017165 for 80,000 pounds of cooked whole turkey at $1.366 per pound (bids due June 22, 2026), Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and meat products at $969,460.94 total estimated value with pre-bid conference April 16, 2026 and bids due June 24, 2026, Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables including meat at El Paso State Supported Living Center at $1.5 million historical annual value (bids due July 13, 2026), and Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00016886 for 200,000 pounds of raw chicken strips at approximately $268,400 estimated value (bids due May 26, 2026). Delivery requirements typically mandate weekly or more frequent service to multiple school sites or central distribution centers, with 95-to-98-percent fill-rate and on-time performance standards. Payment terms commonly run net 30 to net 45 days after invoice and agency approval.
