UNSPSC 50111641: Organic ostrich, minimally processed without additions

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

UNSPSC 50111641 Organic ostrich, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code with minimal direct relevance to state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically requesting ostrich meat or ostrich products; instead, the records show school nutrition services, state health and human services agencies, and county school districts procuring beef, poultry, pork, chicken, turkey, and fresh protein through farm-to-school and general food service vendor contracts. The code's narrow product scope—organic ostrich with no processing or additions—does not align with the commodity mix actually being bought in these jurisdictions, which emphasize USDA-grade poultry (chicken, turkey), ground meats, and locally raised protein certified to grassfed or animal welfare standards, but do not reference ostrich as a procurement category.

State and local food service procurement focuses instead on fresh produce, eggs, processed proteins, and bulk grocery items for school lunch and breakfast programs, supplemented by state hospital and supported-living-center nutrition contracts. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Douglas County School System, DeKalb County School District, Bulloch County School District, Henry County Schools, Decatur City Schools, Early County Board of Education) and Texas (HHSC statewide), with additional activity in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District) and Texas (Garland and Cherokee County school districts). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792 for 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals statewide (due February 23, 2026), the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 (due February 18, 2026), and Bulloch County School District's RFP for locally raised and processed protein within a 200-mile radius, emphasizing grassfed and animal-welfare certifications (due May 4, 2026). This code shows no active state and local procurement interest.
