UNSPSC 50111703: Non gmo pork, minimally processed without additions

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

UNSPSC 50111703 Non-GMO Pork, Minimally Processed without Additions is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fresh and frozen pork products—ground beef, sausage patties and links, sliced ham, and other minimally processed cuts—for school nutrition programs and institutional foodservice operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and state health agencies purchasing pork as part of broader farm-to-school initiatives, local protein procurement programs, and general food-supply contracts that include meat, poultry, and processed proteins alongside produce, dairy, and other staples. The code captures both commodity-sourced and locally-raised pork meeting certifications such as American Grassfed or G.A.P. animal welfare standards, as well as USDA-processed products integrated into meal planning systems. School districts dominate the issuing bodies under this code, with some state institutional-foodservice agencies also soliciting. Issuing bodies weight price heavily in evaluation (typically 30–50 points) alongside product quality, compliance with nutritional specifications (sodium, whole-grain alignments where applicable), HACCP documentation, food-safety procedures, and vendor responsiveness to school-specific logistics and ordering systems.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with recent solicitations from Garland Independent School District (RFP 27427, farm-to-school products including meats, proposals due July 23, 2026); Cherokee County School District (RFP CP-2026, chicken processing services, proposals due June 11, 2026); Bulloch County School District (RFP local protein, beef, pork, and poultry from vendors within 200 miles, proposals due May 4, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission supplemental food procurement (IFB HHS0016792V2, 210 line items including proteins, bids due March 19, 2026, maximum contract value $4.5 million over three years). Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri and Henry County Schools in Georgia also issued recent solicitations naming pork and poultry across their grocery and nutrition-services line-item portfolios. Contract periods typically run July through June aligned with school-year calendars, with firm pricing requirements, delivery scheduling between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. on weekdays, and no fuel surcharges. Geographic preferences for domestic sourcing and, in farm-to-school contexts, local or regional raising and processing within defined radii (e.g., 200 miles) appear consistently in recent RFPs and RFQs.
