UNSPSC 50111619: Organic mixed species meat, minimally processed without additions

Products from two or more species of animal (e.g, a turducken), including those that are sliced or diced, these products have been grown, handled, and transported in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as organic.

UNSPSC 50111619 Organic mixed species meat, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure beef trim, beef fat, chicken processing services, and related minimally processed protein products for institutional foodservice operations. Recent solicitations show that the code encompasses unprocessed or lightly processed meat byproducts and whole-animal proteins delivered to correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, and state healthcare institutions. The issuing bodies are primarily state departments of corrections and health and human services, independent school districts, and county boards of education. State purchasing offices like the Georgia Department of Administrative Services and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission post competitive bids for these items under firm, fixed-price contracts with strict specification compliance and detailed bid-response documentation requirements. Specification sheets typically prohibit checkmarks or abbreviations and require vendors to demonstrate detailed compliance; delivery pricing is all-inclusive with no separate freight or handling invoicing permitted.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Texas, with recent opportunities spanning the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's statewide procurement for Mexia State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017798 and HHS0017799, due August 25, 2026), the Georgia Department of Administrative Services' beef trim and fat procurement for Georgia Correctional Industries (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020722027, due October 14, 2026), and school district nutrition programs including Garland Independent School District's farm-to-school meat procurement (RFP 274-27, due July 23, 2026) and Cherokee County School District's chicken processing services (RFP CP-2026, due June 11, 2026). The Texas HHSC supplemental food and consumables procurement (IFB HHS0016792V2) covered 210 line items including proteins statewide and carried a maximum potential contract value of $4,500,000 over three years. School districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-animal proteins, and compliance with USDA nutrition standards. Contracts typically run one to three years with optional renewal periods and require vendor compliance with food safety, debarment verification, general liability insurance, and E-Verify requirements.
