UNSPSC 50111561 Quail, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that in practice captures poultry and game-bird procurement by state and local food-service operations, though the recent solicitation record shows limited direct activity under this code. State and local governments source quail and similar minimally processed poultry primarily through institutional food-service contracts that bundle multiple protein sources, produce, and consumables rather than as line items for quail alone. The issuing bodies posting under related food-procurement codes include state health and human services agencies, state departments supporting institutional facilities, school districts, and boards of education. These buyers aggregate poultry sourcing into broader food-service RFQs and IFBs that specify protein categories (meats, poultry, seafood) and allow vendors to supply multiple items or categories on a line-by-line basis.

Recent activity concentrated in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a response deadline of July 13, 2026; the prior-period historical value was $1.5 million, with contract term September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, and one renewal option. The State of Georgia posted PE55645NONST2026000000009 on May 15, 2026, requesting bids for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. Early County Board of Education in Georgia issued PE55045NONST2027000000006 on May 11, 2026, for line-by-line food bids supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with response due June 8, 2026, covering approximately 300+ food items including meats, poultry, seafood, and dairy, contract period July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. No recent solicitations reference quail as a standalone item; the code shows little targeted recent activity and appears to be a classification placeholder within larger institutional food-service procurement streams.
