UNSPSC 50111615: Organic specialty meat, minimally processed without additions

Products (e.g, dog) from a single species not of the Class Aves and other than beef, bison, boar, deer, frog, goat, horse, lamb, land snail, llama, pork, rabbit, snake, turtle, or veal, these products have been grown, handled, and transported in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as organic.

UNSPSC 50111615 Organic specialty meat, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that, in recent state and local procurement activity, encompasses beef trim, beef fat, chicken processing services, and whole proteins sourced for institutional food service operations across correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. The code captures the procurement of raw and minimally processed meat products that public entities specify by grade, cut, and packaging configuration for kitchen operations rather than as finished menu items. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state correctional departments, state health and human services agencies operating state-supported living centers, independent school districts, and county boards of education. These jurisdictions frequently issue IFBs for multi-year food service supply contracts that bundle specialty meats alongside broader food and consumable commodities, though standalone chicken processing and beef trim solicitations also appear.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. The Georgia Department of Administrative Services issued IFB 92100ERFQ0020722027 for beef trim and beef fat for correctional industries with a response deadline of October 14, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food service and canteen groceries at Mexia State Supported Living Center (HHS0017798 and HHS0017799, both due August 25, 2026) and a statewide supplemental food and consumables procurement (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years) covering fresh, frozen, and refrigerated proteins alongside other food products. Cherokee County School District issued RFP CP-2026 for chicken processing services due June 11, 2026, and Early County Board of Education solicited food bids including meats and poultry due June 8, 2026. All recent procurements emphasize firm, fixed pricing; strict specification compliance; and delivery within defined time windows and temperature ranges. Vendors must typically bid at least 90 to 95 percent of line items to remain responsive and bear all transportation and handling costs as part of their pricing.
