UNSPSC 50111536 Horse, minimally processed with additions is a Commodity code that does not align with current state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitations tagged under this code show active buying of beef steaks, pork products, poultry, bologna, ham, and miscellaneous food items—none of which involve horse meat or equine products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests a cataloging error rather than a meaningful market signal for horse meat procurement.

State and local governments purchasing frozen boneless beef strip steaks, pork loin, chicken leg quarters, ground poultry, and processed meats through recent competitive solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Georgia Department of Corrections, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts (Early County Board of Education, Northside Independent School District), counties (Gwinnett County, Collier County), a state supported living center (Mexia), a youth training center (Nevada), and cooperative purchasing entities (Texas Education Service Center Cooperative). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional solicitations from Florida, Nevada, Mississippi, and Wisconsin. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's boneless beef strip steaks solicitations (IW267710, IW267706, IW267684, IW267690) due October 20–21, 2026 via the Bonfire Hub portal; the Oregon Department of Corrections' chicken leg quarters procurement (S2910000017681) due August 19, 2026 for approximately 120,000 pounds at a historical price of $0.714 per pound; and the Georgia Department of Corrections' bologna solicitation (92100ERFQ0019732027) due September 10, 2026 in 40,000-pound increments. The code shows no recent relevant opportunities and should not be pursued for horse meat supply.
