UNSPSC 50111645: Organic deer, minimally processed without additions

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

UNSPSC 50111645 Organic deer, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that covers minimally processed organic venison products for institutional food service — yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code are predominantly for beef trim, beef fat, chicken processing, and general school lunch proteins rather than deer meat. State and local governments soliciting under this code include school districts (Garland Independent School District, Early County Board of Education, Cherokee County School District), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department of Administrative Services), and state correctional systems (Georgia Correctional Industries). The work being solicited spans food service procurement for institutional facilities including correctional institutions, state-supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. Most solicitations are IFBs or RFPs requesting firm, fixed unit pricing with strict specification compliance, no substitutions permitted, and delivery windows between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. on designated dates; vendors typically bear all additional charges including overtime, freezing, restacking, and unloading.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with the largest posted opportunity being the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 19, 2026 IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables to serve state hospitals and state-supported living centers statewide, which carried a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years and required responses to a minimum of 95 percent of 210 line items. Other representative opportunities include the Georgia Department of Administrative Services' October 6, 2026 RFQ 92100ERFQ0020722027 for beef trim and beef fat due October 14, 2026, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's August 4, 2026 IFBs HHS0017799 and HHS0017798 for food service and canteen groceries at Mexia State Supported Living Center due August 25, 2026 (with historical monetary guidance of $158,000 and $160,500 respectively for similar goods in FY25), Garland Independent School District's June 11, 2026 RFP 27427 for farm-to-school local produce and meats due July 23, 2026, and Early County Board of Education's May 11, 2026 IFB for 300+ food items plus non-food supplies due June 8, 2026. The code shows minimal recent activity specifically for organic deer or venison; the opportunities actually being posted are for commodity protein and produce sourcing under institutional food service contracts where beef, poultry, and general grocery items dominate.
