UNSPSC 50111648: Organic pheasant, minimally processed with 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 50111648 Organic pheasant, minimally processed with additions is a Commodity code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—minimally processed organic game birds—does not align with actual buying patterns in the opportunities block, which focuses on mainstream school nutrition procurement for beef, poultry, pork, eggs, produce, dairy, and processed grocery items supplied through conventional channels and USDA commodity programs.

Recent solicitations under related food-service codes reflect school districts, state health agencies, and cooperative purchasing groups buying fresh and frozen proteins, produce, grains, dairy, and prepared entrees in volume to support National School Lunch Program operations, farm-to-school initiatives, and state institutional feeding. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Garland Independent School District, Cherokee County School District, Bulloch County School District, DeKalb County School District, and multiple Missouri and Georgia school systems have posted RFPs and IFBs for commodity meats (ground beef, chicken, turkey, pork), fresh produce, eggs, and branded grocery items—none of which reference organic pheasant or specialty game-bird procurement. No issuing body in the opportunities block has solicited organic pheasant products, and no vendor responses or awards to specialty game-bird suppliers appear in the dataset. The code warrants close monitoring for any emerging farm-to-school or institutional preference for heritage proteins, but current activity does not support active pursuit under this specific commodity designation.
