UNSPSC 50111701: Non gmo beef, minimally processed without additions

Products from mature animals of the genus Bos, these products have been grown, and harvested in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as Non GMO.

UNSPSC 50111701 Non-GMO beef, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely solicit against this specific code; the recent opportunities block contains no direct procurement of non-GMO beef as a standalone line item. The one opportunity that touches beef procurement—Bulloch County School District's local protein RFP—seeks fresh locally raised and processed beef (ground, sliced, shredded) sourced within 200 miles and certified American Grassfed and G.A.P. 5-Step Animal Welfare compliant, which diverges materially from the minimally processed, non-GMO specification. The broader pattern across the source shows school districts and state agencies soliciting protein through large aggregate food-service contracts (such as Douglas County's $9 million food supply distribution RFP and Rockwood's comprehensive grocery and net-off-invoice procurements) or through commodity-based processing awards (such as DeKalb County's USDA product processing), where beef appears as one line item within a multi-category purchase, not as a discrete commodity procurement. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's two supplemental food and consumable solicitations for state hospitals and supported living centers include proteins but do not isolate non-GMO beef. The code shows minimal recent activity as a target category in state and local procurement.

School districts across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas dominate the protein procurement landscape, with county school systems (Bulloch, Douglas, DeKalb, Cherokee, Henry County) and independent school districts (Garland, Rockwood, Early County) issuing RFPs and IFBs for annual nutrition services. When beef appears, it is embedded in larger notices—grocery aggregates due April 29 (Rockwood), May 4–15 (Garland, DeKalb, Early County), June 8–22 (Early County, Decatur, Georgia state), and March–May cycles generally—or sourced through local-focus initiatives like Bulloch County's 200-mile-radius farm-to-school program (proposals due May 4, 2026). The Texas HHSC procurement (HHS0016792V2, $4.5 million potential value, due March 19, 2026) spans state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with 210 line items but does not flag non-GMO specifications. This code carries minimal immediate pursuit opportunity; vendors holding non-GMO beef certifications would be better served monitoring school nutrition RFPs for lines allowing alternative proteins or exploring cooperative purchasing vehicles where such standards may be negotiated into master agreements.
