UNSPSC 50111636: Organic bison or buffalo, minimally processed with 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 50111636 Organic bison or buffalo, minimally processed with additions is a Commodity code that in practice describes state and local procurement of meat and protein products for institutional food service—though the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations explicitly seeking organic bison or buffalo. Instead, issuing bodies tag beef trim and beef fat, chicken processing, farm-to-school meats, and general protein procurement under related codes, indicating that the code's nominal scope does not align with current state and local buying patterns. The opportunities reflect meat procurement for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and state hospitals, where institutional food service drives demand for proteins in volume, with delivery, specification compliance, and cost control as primary drivers. Issuing bodies include state departments of administrative services and health and human services commissions, school districts, and county boards of education—spanning Georgia, Texas, and broader state systems.

Recent opportunities show Georgia Department of Administrative Services requesting beef trim and beef fat for correctional industries (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020722027, due October 14, 2026); Texas HHSC soliciting supplemental food and consumables including proteins for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0016792V2, closed March 19, 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years); Garland Independent School District (Texas) seeking farm-to-school meats and produce (RFP 274-27, due July 23, 2026); Cherokee County School District (Georgia) requesting chicken processing services (RFP CP-2026, due June 11, 2026); and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) bidding food items including meats for school lunch programs (due June 8, 2026). The code shows light recent activity specifically under its nominal organic-bison designation; the block suggests the code may be misapplied to general meat procurement, warranting clarification of whether your firm targets organic or conventional meat supply or should track alternative codes where institutional meat procurement is actually being solicited.
