UNSPSC 50111646: Organic deer, minimally processed with 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 50111646 Organic deer, minimally processed with additions is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunities posted under this code are dominated by school nutrition services contracting for mainstream food products — produce, eggs, processed proteins, dairy, and general groceries — rather than deer or other game meat. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Garland ISD, Cherokee County Schools, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Bulloch County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Henry County Schools, DeKalb County Schools, Douglas County Schools), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). The actual work being solicited encompasses USDA commodity product processing, fresh produce and egg procurement, frozen and canned goods distribution, locally sourced conventional proteins (beef, pork, chicken), and grocery Net Off Invoice arrangements — none of which involves deer or game meat procurement.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri. Representative solicitations include the Garland Independent School District farm-to-school RFP due July 23, 2026, for local produce, meats, and food items; the Bulloch County School District RFP due May 4, 2026, for locally raised and processed beef, pork, and poultry within 200 miles of the district; the Cherokee County School District RFP due June 11, 2026, for chicken processing services; the DeKalb County School District ITB due March 31, 2026, for USDA product processing into fully-cooked meat and poultry products; the Douglas County School System RFP due February 18, 2026, for food supply and distribution serving 25,500 students with estimated annual spend of approximately $9,000,000; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB (amended deadline March 19, 2026) for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers with maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years; and the Rockwood R-VI School District grocery procurement (bids due April 29, 2026) for over 900 line items across multiple categories. The code assignment appears misaligned with actual procurement intent — venison and game meat do not appear in any posted opportunity.
