UNSPSC 50111618: Organic specialty poultry, minimally processed with additions

Products (e.g, emu, pigeons, doves) from a single species of the class Aves and other than chicken, duck, goose, ostrich, pheasant, quail, or turkey, these products have been grown, handled, and transported in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as organic.

UNSPSC 50111618 Organic specialty poultry, minimally processed with additions is a Commodity code. Recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little alignment with its nominal scope; the opportunities posted span beef products, general food service groceries, canteen items, and farm-to-school procurement rather than organic specialty poultry. The code does capture school nutrition services and institutional food service operations — school districts, state health and human services agencies, and state correctional facilities are issuing bodies — but the mix of commodities and the absence of organic-poultry-specific solicitations suggest either misclassification in the state and local tagging systems or dormant recent demand for this particular product line. When organic specialty poultry does appear in scope, it is embedded within broader food service procurement alongside conventional proteins, frozen items, and consumables.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple IFBs for food service groceries at Mexia State Supported Living Center (due August 25, 2026) and supplemental food and consumables statewide (bid deadline March 19, 2026, with a potential value of $4,500,000 over three years including renewal options). Garland Independent School District in Texas issued an RFP for farm-to-school products including meats and local produce (proposals due July 23, 2026), and Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line bid for food and non-food items for the National School Lunch Program (bids due June 8, 2026). Georgia Department of Administrative Services solicited beef trim and beef fat for correctional industries (RFQ due October 14, 2026). Cherokee County School District issued an RFP for chicken processing services (proposals due June 11, 2026), which represents the closest match to poultry work but addresses processing services rather than finished product procurement. The code shows no recent demand signals specific to organic specialty poultry as a standalone procurement category.
