UNSPSC 50111611: Organic lamb or mutton, minimally processed without additions

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

UNSPSC 50111611 Organic lamb or mutton, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that sees negligible recent activity in state and local procurement. The code itself targets a narrow product category—organic, unprocessed lamb or mutton—but the recent opportunities posted under it reveal minimal alignment with actual buying patterns. Among the fifteen recent solicitations tagged to this code, not a single opportunity explicitly names lamb or mutton as a primary procurement need. Instead, school districts, state health agencies, and regional buying cooperatives are soliciting broad food-service categories that encompass poultry, beef, pork, produce, dairy, and processed entrees, with lamb conspicuously absent from bid specifications. The Garland Independent School District's farm-to-school RFP, the Bulloch County School District's local protein RFP (which names beef, pork, and poultry but not lamb), and the Douglas County School System's food-supply RFP all represent typical recent activity in state and local school nutrition procurement—and none of them reference lamb or mutton products. This misalignment between the UNSPSC code classification and actual procurement content suggests the code is either tagged incorrectly in the source data or represents a product line with virtually no recent state and local demand.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix across the recent opportunities, including Garland ISD (Texas), Cherokee County Schools (Georgia), Bulloch County Schools (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Early County Schools (Georgia), Henry County Schools (Georgia), DeKalb County Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI Schools (Missouri), and Douglas County Schools (Georgia), alongside state agencies such as the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the State of Georgia. Georgia and Missouri represent the geographic centers of recent activity, with Texas and other states represented in smaller volume. However, because the opportunities do not name lamb or mutton, they offer no actionable signal for vendors in this commodity space. If your firm sources organic lamb or mutton for institutional foodservice, this code warrants continued monitoring as part of broader school nutrition procurement streams, but no active pursuit opportunity is present in the current posting cycle.
