UNSPSC 50111601: Organic beef, minimally processed without additions

Products from mature animals of the genus Bos, these products have been grown, handled, and transported in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as organic.

UNSPSC 50111601 Organic beef, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that covers beef trim, beef fat, and related protein cuts for institutional food service operations. State and local governments solicit under this code primarily through school districts, state health and human services departments, and state correctional agencies. The scope of work involves supplying processed beef products—specifically beef trim and beef fat meeting detailed specifications—for food service in schools, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. Vendors must comply with exact specifications for cuts, grades, and packaging; submit firm, fixed pricing that includes delivery; and meet strict response documentation requirements. School districts dominate the recent activity, sourcing beef and other proteins as components of larger school nutrition RFPs covering meat, poultry, dairy, and prepared items for breakfast and lunch programs.

Recent opportunities span Georgia and Texas. The Georgia Department of Administrative Services issued IFB 92100ERFQ0020722027 for beef trim and beef fat for Georgia Correctional Industries, with bids due October 14, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited food service groceries and canteen groceries for Mexia State Supported Living Center under IFBs HHS0017799 and HHS0017798 (both due August 25, 2026), covering proteins including beef among broader food item categories with historical values of $158,000 and $160,500 respectively. Garland Independent School District (Texas) posted RFP 274-27 for farm-to-school products including local meats due July 23, 2026. Cherokee County School District (Georgia) requested chicken processing services under RFP CP-2026 (due June 11, 2026), signaling a school focus on meat sourcing.
