UNSPSC 50111528 Specialty meat, minimally processed with additions is a Commodity code that covers institutional and commercial procurement of processed and semi-processed protein products — boneless beef steaks, pork ends and pieces, chicken strips and halves, ground poultry, turkey products, ham, bologna, beef patties, and related cuts — typically frozen or cooked and ready for food-service distribution. State and local governments procure these items under the code primarily through correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, child nutrition programs, and public universities seeking high-volume, specification-driven meat supply for institutional kitchens. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Georgia Department of Corrections, and Oregon Department of Corrections dominate recent activity, supplemented by state health and human services commissions, county commissioners' offices, county boards of education, school districts, and public universities.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Nevada, and Mississippi. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted at least four boneless beef steak solicitations in October 2026 alone (IW267710, IW267706, IW267684, IW267690) with response dates of October 20–21, 2026, via the Bonfire Hub electronic procurement portal; the Georgia Department of Corrections has posted multiple eRFQ solicitations for bologna, ham, beef patties, franks, and leg quarters since August 2026, typically with response windows of 7–14 days and delivery-inclusive, all-in pricing required; and the Oregon Department of Corrections has issued ITBs for pork ends and pieces (due October 23, 2026, under S2910000018169 with 5% Oregon preference for fabrication and 5% for residency, historical award at $0.49 per pound), chicken strips raw (200,000 pounds, May 26, 2026, $1.342 per pound historical award to Robbins Sales), chicken leg quarters (120,000 pounds, August 19, 2026, $0.714 per pound historical pricing), and ground poultry bulk (160,000 pounds, August 19, 2026, $0.5769 per pound to National Food). Georgia Correctional Industries and the Texas Education Service Center Cooperative also appear as repeat buyers. All major recent solicitations require FOB Destination or delivery-included pricing, strict specification compliance in writing (no generic "comply" statements), electronic submission through state procurement portals, and often apply state-residency or domestic-source preferences. Evaluation typically centers on lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting all specifications, with historical award prices available for benchmarking.
