UNSPSC 50111621: Organic duck, minimally processed with additions

Products from animals of the genera Anas (domestic duck) or Cairina (Moscovy duck), these products have been grown, handled, and transported in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as organic.

UNSPSC 50111621 Organic duck, minimally processed with additions is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty protein sourcing for institutional food service, though recent state and local opportunities show minimal direct procurement of duck products and instead feature broader protein supply and school nutrition food service solicitations. The code sees limited direct activity; instead, issuing bodies procure duck and other proteins through larger food service and nutrition contracts that embed protein acquisition within comprehensive food supply, commodity processing, and fresh local protein initiatives. School districts and state health agencies dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent activity concentrated among Georgia school systems (Garland ISD, Cherokee County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Henry County Schools, Douglas County School System, DeKalb County Schools), Texas agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and Missouri school districts (Rockwood R-VI School District). None of the recent solicitations specifically target duck or poultry processing in isolation; instead, duck would be procured as a component of broader protein categories within RFPs and ITBs for school nutrition food supply, farm-to-school local protein initiatives, and USDA commodity processing services.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary presence in Missouri. Representative recent opportunities illustrate the broader context: Bulloch County School District issued RFP for local protein (proposals due May 4, 2026) seeking fresh beef, pork, and poultry raised and processed within 200 miles; Cherokee County School District solicited chicken processing services (RFP CP-2026, due June 11, 2026); Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide via IFB HHS0016792 (bid response deadline March 19, 2026, maximum contract value $4.5 million over three years), encompassing 210 line items including proteins but not explicitly naming duck; DeKalb County School District sought USDA product processing services via ITB 26-729 (due March 31, 2026) for beef, poultry, turkey, and cheese products; and Garland ISD posted RFP 274-27 for farm-to-school products including meats (due July 23, 2026). Vendors pursuing the broader code family should monitor school district RFPs for specialty or local protein sourcing and state health agency food service contracts where duck could compete alongside commodity poultry and processed meat offerings.
