UNSPSC 50111559 Pheasant, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not involve pheasant procurement; instead, they reflect a broader food and consumables category encompassing school nutrition programs, institutional dining, and USDA commodity processing. The actual work being solicited includes fresh produce, dairy, meats, poultry, eggs, bread products, and processed USDA commodities for school meals and state-supported facility food service. Issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Early County Board of Education, DeKalb County School District, Douglas County School System) and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center; State of Georgia). These buyers emphasize domestic sourcing, nutritional compliance (whole-grain bread, low-sodium formulations, allergen management), HACCP certification, Buy American Act compliance, and competitive pricing pegged to USDA or Consumer Price Index benchmarks.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply HHSC El Paso with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items and non-food supplies for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs across three schools with firm pricing and six-month escalation adjustment provisions; DeKalb County School District's ITB 26-729 for USDA Product Processing (posted February 26, 2026, due March 31, 2026) seeking vendors to process beef, poultry, turkey, and cheese products into fully-cooked items for school meals; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Vendors must meet five-year public school experience requirements, carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance, comply with federal debarment verification, and allow piggybacking by other districts on identical terms.
