UNSPSC 50111527 Specialty meat, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that encompasses frozen and fresh protein products—boneless beef steaks, pork ends and pieces, chicken strips and halves, and processed meat items such as bologna and franks—procured by state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, school districts, and other institutional food service operations. State and local governments buy under this code primarily to supply inmate and patient populations at correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and public institutional food programs, where volume purchasing and standardized specifications drive procurement. Issuing bodies are predominantly state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services commissions, school districts, and specialized state institutions (Nevada Youth Training Center). The Texas Education Service Center Cooperative (ESCCO) also solicits under the code for distributed food service across cooperative members. Georgia Correctional Industries appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple separate solicitations for bologna, beef patties, ham, franks, leg quarters, and beef trim within a single procurement cycle.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted four nearly identical boneless beef strip steak solicitations in mid-October 2026 (Corpus Christi, Palestine, Snyder locations, and ESCCO Wynne facility), all due October 20–21, 2026, under RFQ/IFB notice type. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited six meat commodity categories between late August and mid-September 2026 (bologna, leg quarters, ham, beef patties, beef fat and trim, and franks), all ITB or RFQ format with delivery included in all-inclusive pricing and electronic submission required via state procurement portals. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued multiple ITBs for poultry and pork products throughout the summer and spring 2026 (chicken strips raw, chicken leg quarters, ground poultry bulk, pork loin boneless, pork ends and pieces, turkey cooked whole, chicken halves), all with 30–45 day delivery windows and Oregon fabrication and residency preferences of 5 percent each. Early County Schools in Georgia, Northside Independent School District in Texas, and Gwinnett County in Georgia also posted food solicitations spanning meat and specialty proteins. Pricing is consistently quoted per pound on FOB Destination terms with transportation and delivery included; delivery volumes range from 40,000 pounds per truckload for correctional facilities to smaller institutional quantities. Historical pricing references indicate $0.49–$1.366 per pound depending on product and grade, with awards typically to lowest responsive bidder meeting detailed USDA quality, nutritional, and shelf-life specifications.
