UNSPSC 50111631: Organic snake, minimally processed without additions

Products from animals of the suborder Serpentes, these products have been grown, handled, and transported in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as organic.

UNSPSC 50111631 Organic snake, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that nominally names a processed protein product, but the recent state and local solicitation activity under this code does not reflect that scope. Instead, the opportunities posted against this code cover conventional beef products, poultry, dairy, produce, and broad food-service groceries — none of which align with the code's stated commodity description. The Georgia Department of Administrative Services posted a bid for beef trim and beef fat; Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs for canteen and food-service groceries, including proteins, frozen vegetables, and prepared items; and school districts in Texas and Georgia solicited farm-to-school produce, meats, and chicken processing services. The issuing bodies are predominantly state agencies (Georgia Department of Administrative Services, Texas HHSC) and independent school districts (Garland ISD, Early County Board of Education, Cherokee County School District), with procurement spanning correctional-industry food supply, state-facility food service, and school nutrition programs.

The most recent activity is concentrated in Texas and Georgia. Representative opportunities include the Georgia Department of Administrative Services RFQ 92100ERFQ0020722027 for beef trim and beef fat due October 14, 2026; the Texas HHSC Canteen Groceries IFB HHS0017798 for Mexia State Supported Living Center due August 25, 2026; the Garland Independent School District RFP 274-27 for farm-to-school products due July 23, 2026; and the Early County Board of Education bid for food and non-food items due June 8, 2026. The code appears to have been assigned to these opportunities as a catch-all or mislabeling in state procurement systems; there is no meaningful recent activity for organically processed snake or analogous specialty proteins. Pursuit under this code would require clarification with the issuing agency about whether the code assignment is correct or if a different commodity code better reflects the actual procurement scope.
