UNSPSC 50111603: Organic pork, minimally processed without additions

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

UNSPSC 50111603 Organic pork, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code covering fresh or frozen pork products purchased minimally processed without added ingredients for institutional food service. State and local procurement under this code focuses primarily on school nutrition programs serving K-12 populations, with recent activity dominated by school districts across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas procuring pork items including breakfast sausage patties, ground sausage, sausage links, and sliced ham as components of broader protein or grocery solicitations. Issuing bodies are almost exclusively independent school districts and school nutrition departments, with occasional participation from state health agencies; Garland Independent School District, Cherokee County School District, Bulloch County School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Henry County Schools, and DeKalb County School District appear across multiple recent opportunities. The code does not support standalone pork-only contracts; rather, pork products surface as line items within composite food procurement RFPs and IFBs that bundle proteins, produce, dairy, and supplies into single competitive events.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include Garland Independent School District's RFP 274-27 for Farm to School products (posted June 11, 2026, due July 23, 2026), which encompasses local meats including pork alongside produce and other items for school nutrition services; Bulloch County School District's Invitation for Proposal for fresh locally raised and processed protein (posted April 3, 2026, due May 4, 2026) specifying pork products such as breakfast sausage patties, ground sausage, sausage links, and sliced ham with 200-mile local-sourcing requirements; and Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items procurement (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026) encompassing pork among 900+ line items delivered to central warehouse. Evaluation typically weights price at 30–40 percent, quality and compliance at 30 percent, and service or alignment with district needs at 20–30 percent. Districts enforce firm, fixed pricing for contract terms with escalation permitted only upon documented manufacturer price increases exceeding 3–5 percent; all vendors must carry minimum $1,000,000 general liability insurance, maintain HACCP plans, comply with Buy American provisions where applicable, and demonstrate E-Verify authorization. No set-asides or disadvantaged-enterprise designations appear in recent solicitations.
