UNSPSC 50111562 Quail, minimally processed with additions is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve institutional food service procurement — specifically fresh produce, eggs, processed meats and poultry, dairy, and general food and consumable products for school nutrition programs and state-supported living facilities — rather than minimally processed quail with additions. State and local issuing bodies pursuing food procurement under this code include school districts (Early County Board of Education, DeKalb County School District, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). The work encompasses line-item food bidding for school lunch and breakfast programs, USDA commodity product processing into fully-cooked items, fresh produce and egg sourcing, and general food service supply contracting with firm fixed unit pricing, delivery requirements, and compliance with Buy American Act provisions.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center under a one-year term with one renewal option and historical annual volume of $1.5 million; Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program items across three schools with domestic sourcing and nutrition-quality preferences; DeKalb County School District's ITB 26-729 (due March 31, 2026) for USDA product processing services converting commodity beef, poultry, turkey, and cheese into fully-cooked school meal components; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix and typically award to lowest responsive and responsible bidders meeting specifications, with some allowing multiple vendor awards on a line-item basis.
