UNSPSC 50111562 Quail, minimally processed with additions is a Commodity code that frames state and local government procurement of minimally processed poultry products, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code shows food service supply contracts that cast a wider net than quail alone. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include state health and human services agencies, state education departments, and school districts. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is soliciting food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026), which covers food and consumable supplies for facility food service and on-campus programs; the prior contract period held a historical value of $1.5 million. The Early County Board of Education in Georgia is requesting line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items including meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools (IFB PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026), with contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and options to extend up to three months or renew for additional one-year terms. The State of Georgia also posted a general food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) with full scope details in the attached solicitation document.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and Georgia. The Texas and Georgia school and state health agency solicitations emphasize firm, fixed unit pricing inclusive of labor, materials, equipment, and transportation; adherence to USDA nutrition standards and whole-grain specifications; domestic sourcing preferences; and compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, and liability insurance thresholds. Vendors must satisfy debarment verification, E-Verify requirements, and food recall procedures. One Georgia school district opportunity provides specific detail: Early County Board of Education awards to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with bid prices remaining firm for 15 days from award and escalation or de-escalation considered quarterly on a six-month basis supported by USDA or Consumer Price Index data; price increases exceeding 3% permit provisional sourcing elsewhere. A Cornish Game Hen procurement (S2910000017577, due August 6, 2026) also appears under this code, though substantive scope detail is not available.
