UNSPSC 50111531 Mixed species meat, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure frozen and fresh protein products for institutional food service — primarily beef cuts, pork products, poultry, and processed meats destined for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, and public health agencies. Recent solicitations under this code focus on commodity proteins with standardized USDA grades and minimal processing: boneless beef steaks, pork ends and pieces, chicken leg quarters, ground poultry, and processed meats such as bologna, franks, and ham. The mix of issuing bodies reflects the institutional food-service customer base, with correctional departments (Georgia Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Nevada Youth Training Center) as the dominant repeat buyers, supplemented by state health and human services commissions, county and municipal parks departments, school districts, and health-care facilities. Specifications across recent opportunities emphasize USDA procurement grades, fat and sodium limits, shelf-life requirements, and delivery in full-truckload increments (commonly 40,000 pounds) on an FOB Destination basis with freight prepaid.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and West, with Georgia Correctional Industries issuing multiple recurring solicitations (bologna, ham, beef patties, leg quarters, beef trim and fat, franks) between August and October 2026, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice posting boneless beef steak bids for multiple facilities in October 2026 (Wynne, Palestine, Corpus Christi, Snyder) due October 20–21, 2026, and the Oregon Department of Corrections maintaining a steady procurement schedule for poultry and pork products (chicken halves, chicken leg quarters, ground poultry, boneless pork loin, cooked turkey) with bids due through August 2026. Secondary activity appears in Nevada (Nevada Youth Training Center quarterly meat solicitations, most recently June 2026), Texas school districts and state-supported living centers (Northside ISD, Mexia SSLC bids due August 2026), and scattered county and municipal facilities. Representative current opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IW267710 for boneless beef steaks to Wynne (RFQ, due October 21, 2026), Georgia Correctional Industries 92100ERFQ0020632027 for leg quarters (eRFQ, due October 13, 2026 with 40,000-pound delivery increments), and Oregon Department of Corrections S2910000016886 for 200,000 pounds of raw chicken strips (ITB, due May 26, 2026 with historical award at $1.342 per pound to Robbins Sales). All-inclusive pricing and detailed product specification compliance remain procurement hallmarks; bidders routinely face electronic submission requirements and restricted communication protocols.
