UNSPSC 50111616: Organic specialty meat, minimally processed with 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 50111616 Organic specialty meat, minimally processed with additions is a Commodity code covering beef products and other specialty meat items procured by state agencies, school districts, and correctional facilities for food service operations. The recent solicitations under this code show state and local governments purchasing beef trim, beef fat, and specialty chicken processing services to supply institutional kitchens, state-supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. While the code nominally references organic specialty meat, the actual procurement activity reflects broader institutional meat sourcing—the Georgia Department of Administrative Services sought beef trim and beef fat for correctional industries; Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured food service proteins including prepared meats for state-supported living centers; and Cherokee County School District requested chicken processing services for school nutrition. The issuing bodies span state departments, school districts, and state health agencies rather than a single concentrated buyer.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. The Georgia Department of Administrative Services posted a beef trim and beef fat IFB (92100ERFQ0020722027) due October 14, 2026, with delivery included in all-inclusive bid pricing and strict specification-compliance documentation requirements. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs for canteen and food service groceries to supply the Mexia State Supported Living Center (HHS0017799 and HHS0017798, both due August 25, 2026), with historical FY25 values around $160,000 to $158,000 and contract terms running through August 31, 2027 with extension options. Texas HHSC also issued a broader supplemental food and consumables procurement (HHS0016792V2) with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years, covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and refrigerated food products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. Garland Independent School District (RFP 274-27, due July 23, 2026) and Early County Board of Education (bids due June 8, 2026) solicited farm-to-school and general food products respectively, with Early County emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations across 300+ food line items. The code shows regular institutional procurement activity with firm fixed pricing, strict specification matching, and delivery-inclusive bid structures common to state food service contracting.
