UNSPSC 50111649: Organic quail, minimally processed without additions

Products from animals of the family Phasianidae and genera Coturnix, Anurophasis, Perdicula, or Ophrysia, these products have been grown, handled, and transported in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as organic.

UNSPSC 50111649 Organic quail, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that nominally covers organic quail products in their simplest form. However, the recent state and local opportunities indexed under this code show no solicitations for organic quail; instead, they consistently reflect procurement for conventional proteins, produce, and food service items spanning beef, chicken, dairy, frozen vegetables, canteen groceries, and general food service supplies for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact in the state and local procurement ecosystem, as none of the five recent opportunities target quail products at all—organic or otherwise. State and local issuing bodies using this taxonomy code are primarily correctional and health-and-human-services agencies (Georgia Department of Administrative Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), school districts (Garland Independent School District, Cherokee County School District, Early County Board of Education), and state purchasing offices. The work being solicited is large-scale food procurement under fixed or firm competitive bidding, with emphasis on specification compliance, delivery logistics, and pricing.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include the Georgia Department of Administrative Services' IFB for beef fat and beef trim for correctional industries (due October 14, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's two concurrent IFBs for canteen and food service groceries at Mexia State Supported Living Center (due August 25, 2026), and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program support across three schools (due June 8, 2026). The Texas HHSC also issued a larger statewide supplemental food and consumables IFB with a maximum contract value of $4,500,000 across three years (bid deadline March 19, 2026, now closed). Garland Independent School District solicited farm-to-school products including local produce and meats under RFP 274-27 (due July 23, 2026). Given the consistent mismatch between the code name and the actual solicitations, firms should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for organic quail products and monitor activity under broader food-service and protein-commodity codes instead.
