UNSPSC 50111534 Duck, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code covering whole or minimally dressed duck supplied fresh or chilled for institutional food service. State and local governments procure duck under this code primarily as a protein component in school meal programs and state-operated facility dining services. The recent solicitations reflect demand from school districts and state health and human services agencies sourcing protein items—both duck and related poultry products—as part of broader food procurement for cafeterias, state-supported living centers, and child nutrition programs. Early County Board of Education's June 2026 RFP specified poultry products within a larger food bid; DeKalb County School District's March 2026 ITB for USDA product processing explicitly includes processed poultry (drumsticks, wings, popcorn chicken, whole muscle chicken) as contract line items, signaling active institutional demand for poultry in multiple forms. School districts emphasize domestic sourcing, Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, and nutritional specifications (sodium limits, whole-grain percentages where applicable).

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical annual value of $1.5 million and a response deadline of July 13, 2026; the State of Georgia issued a statewide food supplies bid (PE55645NONST2026000000009) due June 22, 2026; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) sought line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026, spanning 300+ food items with milk and meat components; Douglas County School System (Georgia) posted an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs due March 4, 2026, covering 30 districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined. These school-district procurements award on lowest responsive and responsible bidder basis and permit multiple awards across vendors and product categories, with contract terms typically running July through June on a one-year initial basis with renewal or extension options.
