UNSPSC 50111635: Organic bison or buffalo, minimally processed without additions

Products from animals of the species Bison bison (American Bison), these products have been grown, handled, and transported in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as organic.

UNSPSC 50111635 Organic bison or buffalo, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no procurement activity for organic bison or buffalo products. Instead, the opportunities document beef trim and beef fat procurement (Georgia Department of Administrative Services), general food service groceries and canteen items for state supported living centers (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), farm-to-school produce and meats (Garland Independent School District), school nutrition chicken processing services (Cherokee County School District), supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and living centers (Texas HHSC), and school lunch and breakfast program food supplies (Early County Board of Education and Georgia state procurement). The code's nominal scope does not align with the work actually being solicited.

The recent opportunities span state agencies, school districts, and state-supported institutional facilities across Georgia and Texas, with the largest opportunity being the Texas HHSC supplemental food and consumables IFB covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated food products with a maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years. The issuing bodies—primarily state health and human services departments and school districts—are sourcing commodity proteins, produce, dairy, and prepared foods through IFB and RFP processes, but none of the posted solicitations reference organic bison or buffalo products. The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears misaligned with current procurement demand under this UNSPSC classification.
