UNSPSC 50111535 Horse, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that sees negligible recent activity in state and local procurement. The nine most recent opportunities in the source block—spanning Texas, Oregon, Nevada, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia from January through June 2026—include solicitations for cooked turkey, chicken leg quarters, ground poultry, pork loins, breakfast patties, ham, leg quarters, dark ground chicken, bologna, frozen meats, and fresh produce for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care agencies. None of these opportunities actually procure horse meat or horse products. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests that the code either receives no meaningful state and local procurement activity or has been incorrectly applied to unrelated food and meat commodity purchases.

State and local government buyers in the recent opportunities—including school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Early County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI, Henry County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Department of Corrections Industries, Nevada Youth Training Center), child care providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice)—consistently procure poultry, beef, pork, and produce through IFBs and RFPs with response dates between February and June 2026, but no buyer has solicited horse meat under this or any other code in the block. If your firm pursues this code, confirm directly with state procurement offices whether horse meat procurement exists in your target markets; the evidence presented here does not support active demand.
