UNSPSC 50111647: Organic pheasant, minimally processed without additions

Products from animals of the family Phasianidae and genera Phasianus or Chrysolophus (typically the Common Pheasant, Phasianus colchicus, or the Golden pheasant, Chrysolophus pictus), these products have been grown, handled, and transported in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as organic.

UNSPSC 50111647 Organic pheasant, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct procurement activity under its specific designation in state and local government. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting organic pheasant; instead, state and local school districts and health and human services agencies are procuring pheasant and other poultry through broader food service categories such as fresh proteins, frozen poultry, USDA commodity processing, and general school nutrition supplies. The scope of actual procurement under related family-level codes encompasses fresh, frozen, and processed meats and poultry for school meals, institutional food service, and child nutrition programs, with district buyers emphasizing USDA compliance, food safety certification (HACCP), Buy American sourcing preferences, and whole-grain and low-sodium formulations. Issuing bodies are primarily independent school districts and county school systems, along with state-level health and human services agencies and state education departments. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), working with the Department of State Health Services (DSHS), and multiple Georgia school districts including Bulloch County Schools, DeKalb County Schools, Douglas County Schools, and Rockwood R-VI Schools in Missouri appear as repeat buyers in the recent opportunities.

Recent procurement activity cluster in Georgia, Texas, and Missouri, with the heaviest concentration in Georgia school districts. Representative recent solicitations include Bulloch County School District's RFP (posted April 3, 2026, due May 4, 2026) for locally raised and processed protein including poultry, beef, and pork for fiscal year 2026-2027; DeKalb County School District's ITB 26-729 (posted February 26, 2026, due March 31, 2026) for USDA product processing services including fully-cooked poultry and meat products; and the Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0016792 (posted February 26, 2026, with an extended due date of February 23, 2026) for supplemental food and consumables statewide serving state hospitals and supported living centers. These opportunities emphasize bulk commodity supply, compliance with federal procurement standards, multi-facility delivery logistics, and pricing discipline with limited escalation provisions. The code as named does not align closely with current procurement patterns; vendors should track broader poultry and meat supply codes within school nutrition and institutional food service categories where actual demand concentrates.
