UNSPSC 50111548 Bison or buffalo, minimally processed with additions is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitation activity does not match the code's stated scope. The source contains no procurement records for bison or buffalo products; instead, the tagged opportunities span beef steaks, pork, poultry, ham, frankfurters, bologna, and miscellaneous food items for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, child-care programs, and parks departments. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal commodity classification.

State and local jurisdictions soliciting under this category—or incorrectly tagged to it—include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department of Corrections, Oregon Department of Corrections, Nevada Youth Training Center, school districts in Texas and Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, and other institutional food-service buyers. The geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Florida, Nevada, Wisconsin, Mississippi, and other states, with the highest recent activity in Texas and Georgia correctional and state-facility procurement. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's boneless beef strip steaks solicitations (IW267710, IW267706, IW267684, IW267690) posted in mid-October 2026 with response dates of October 20–21, 2026, solicited via competitive bidding through the Bonfire procurement portal; the Georgia Department of Corrections' beef trim and beef fat, franks, leg quarters, ham, and beef patties procurements (multiple ERFQs issued September–October 2026) with response dates spanning September–October 2026; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' raw chicken strips, chicken leg quarters, and ground poultry bulk procurements (multiple ITBs issued August 2026) with response dates in August and September 2026. The mismatch between code title and actual buying activity suggests either a tagging error in source records or that this code is rarely used for its stated purpose in state and local procurement.
