UNSPSC 50111528 Specialty meat, minimally processed with additions is a Commodity code that encompasses minimally processed meat products with added ingredients or preparation, procured by state and local jurisdictions primarily for institutional food service operations including child nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and school districts. Recent solicitations under this code reveal a mix of cooked specialty meats (whole turkey, turkey ends and pieces), ground poultry products, raw chicken strips and leg quarters, pork loins, and processed meat items such as ham, bologna, breakfast patties, and ground beef patties—all meeting USDA procurement grades and food safety standards including HACCP compliance. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the code include departments of corrections (Oregon ODOC, Georgia GCI, Nevada Youth Training Center), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools Virginia, Rockwood R-VI Missouri, Henry County Schools Georgia, Early County Board of Education Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education Georgia), and child nutrition programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas Texas). Correctional and juvenile detention facilities appear as repeat buyers, with Oregon ODOC posting multiple poultry and protein solicitations at regular intervals.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. Oregon ODOC has issued at least seven competitive ITBs since January 2026 for specialty meats ranging from 40,000 to 200,000 pounds, with response dates between late January and late June 2026. Georgia correctional industries and school districts have issued roughly a dozen solicitations for breakfast patties, ground beef, leg quarters, and ham since February 2026. Texas agencies—including Head Start of Greater Dallas (IFB 26GP, due June 24, 2026, $969,460.94 estimated value) and HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, $1.5 million historical value)—are active buyers. School districts in Virginia, Missouri, and Georgia have solicited comprehensive grocery contracts with meat components in spring 2026, typically with July 1 contract starts and annual terms. Pricing under these codes reflects firm, fixed unit rates on per-pound or per-case bases, with historical awards ranging from $0.683 to $2.94 per pound depending on product type and processing level. Delivery is consistently FOB destination with freight prepaid; lead times typically range from 30 to 45 days post-purchase order. Oregon and Nevada apply 5–10 percent preferences for in-state production and fabrication; Texas encourages participation from SBE, MBE, and WBE vendors without strict set-asides on most procurements.
