UNSPSC 50111608: Organic veal, minimally processed with additions

Products from young 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 50111608 Organic veal, minimally processed with additions is a Commodity code that encompasses processed meat products state and local institutions purchase for food service operations, though recent solicitations under this code predominantly reflect beef and poultry procurement rather than veal specifically. State and local governments buying under this code include state agencies managing institutional food services, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and independent school districts operating nutrition services for state-mandated meal programs. The work centers on procuring meat and protein products meeting detailed specification sheets, often with stringent requirements around packaging, labeling, temperature control, delivery windows, and compliance documentation; vendors must quote exact manufacturer and pack sizes with no substitutions permitted, submit firm fixed pricing, and guarantee products are new stock free from rework or second-quality items.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Texas, and regional school districts. The Georgia Department of Administrative Services issued an RFQ on October 6, 2026 (due October 14, 2026) for beef fat and beef trim for Georgia Correctional Industries through the GA@Work portal; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited food service groceries and canteen items for Mexia State Supported Living Center under IFBs HHS0017799 and HHS0017798 (both due August 25, 2026), with historical FY25 values of $158,000 and $160,500 respectively and a maximum three-year value of $4.5 million for supplemental food across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0016792V2, closed March 19, 2026); and independent school districts including Garland ISD (RFP 274-27, due July 23, 2026) and Early County Board of Education (due June 8, 2026) issued farm-to-school and National School Lunch Program procurements. School nutrition procurements emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance, and low-sodium formulations with delivery between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. on specified days and vendor responsibility for all freight, handling, and compliance costs; state agency and supported-living-center procurements are more frequent and carry higher individual and multi-year values.
