UNSPSC 50111620: Organic mixed species meat, minimally processed with 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 50111620 Organic mixed species meat, minimally processed with additions is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fresh and frozen meat products—beef, pork, and poultry—for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show activity centered on locally sourced or minimally processed proteins delivered to school districts, with specifications often emphasizing certifications (HACCP, American Grassfed, GAP Animal Welfare Standards), cold-chain compliance, and alignment with farm-to-school or local-sourcing initiatives. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with a secondary stream from state health and human services agencies procuring for institutional care facilities. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, state departments of education, and county school systems in Georgia and Missouri account for the preponderance of recent opportunities.

Georgia school districts—including Garland ISD, Cherokee County, Bulloch County, DeKalb County, Douglas County, and Henry County—posted the majority of recent solicitations between January and June 2026, with response dates clustered in March through July 2026. Bulloch County School District issued RFP PE55645NONST2027000000032 seeking fresh locally raised beef, pork, and poultry (ground beef, sausage, chicken wings, drumsticks, whole chickens, turkeys) processed within a 200-mile radius, with proposals due May 4, 2026; DeKalb County School District issued ITB 26-729 for USDA product processing services converting commodity proteins into fully-cooked meat and poultry products, due March 31, 2026; and Garland ISD issued RFP 274-27 for farm-to-school meats and local produce with proposals due July 23, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food including fresh and frozen meat through IFB HHS0016792V2, a statewide opportunity with maximum contract value of $4,500,000 over three years, due March 19, 2026. Secondary opportunities appeared in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District) and additional Georgia districts (Douglas County through the GEC Buying Cooperative). No current opportunities show specific MBE, WBE, or DBE set-asides, though several solicitations indicate willingness to award to multiple vendors and one (City Schools of Decatur) explicitly states intent to provide maximum practicable opportunities to minority firms and women's business enterprises consistent with federal standards.
