UNSPSC 50111553 Ostrich, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code nominally focused on prepared poultry products, but recent state and local activity under this code shows little direct correlation to ostrich procurement. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect broader food and consumable products solicitations for institutional food service, including poultry and protein items as components of larger meal-service contracts. State and local issuing bodies sourcing under this code include state health and human services agencies, state purchasing offices, and school district boards of education. The work consists of supplying prepared and minimally processed food items—poultry, seafood, dairy, grains, produce, and related consumables—to institutional food service operations serving residents, patients, and students, with delivery and storage specifications tied to food safety, temperature control, and USDA nutrition compliance.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million and responses due July 13, 2026. The State of Georgia posted PE55645NONST2026000000009 in May 2026 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 deadline. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued PE55045NONST2027000000006 in May 2026 for line-by-line food and non-food bids covering approximately 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with bids due June 8, 2026; that contract runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with extension options and Buy American compliance requirements. Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, though the sparse data and mismatch between the code's ostrich focus and the actual food-service nature of current opportunities suggest this code sees limited specialized procurement aligned to its nominal taxonomy definition.
