UNSPSC 50111535 Horse, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code overwhelmingly solicit beef, pork, poultry, and prepared meat products—boneless beef steaks, frozen pork ends and pieces, chicken strips, leg quarters, ham, bologna, beef patties, and turkey—rather than horse meat. This mismatch between the code's name and the work actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or that the code is being used as a catch-all for institutional meat procurement that does not fit neatly into commodity-specific branches.

Institutional food service dominates the issuing-body mix: the Texas Department of Criminal Justice posts the highest volume of recent solicitations under this code, followed by the Georgia Department of Corrections, Oregon Department of Corrections, and other state corrections and state-supported living facilities. School districts, county governments, and specialized institutions such as Nevada Youth Training Center and Forrest General Hospital also appear. The geographic concentration is strong in the South and Pacific Northwest—Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Nevada account for the bulk of recent opportunities, with isolated solicitations from Wisconsin, Mississippi, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's boneless beef strip steaks solicitation (IW267706, due October 21, 2026, ITB) for delivery to Palestine, Texas; the Oregon Department of Corrections' chicken strips procurement (S2910000016886, due May 26, 2026, ITB) for 200,000 pounds at an estimated $1.342 per pound; and the Georgia Department of Corrections' bologna solicitation (92100ERFQ0019732027, due September 10, 2026, eRFQ) for delivery in 40,000-pound increments. All recent solicitations emphasize firm, all-inclusive pricing with FOB Destination terms, detailed specification compliance (often prohibiting generic "comply" statements), and delivery to central distribution or facility locations.
