UNSPSC 50111707: Non gmo veal, minimally processed without additions

Products from young 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 50111707 Non-GMO veal, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure almost exclusively through school nutrition services programs seeking farm-to-school and local-source protein for child meal programs. The recent opportunities indexed under this code show that school districts across the South—particularly Georgia and Texas—are actively soliciting fresh, locally raised, and processed protein products as part of broader farm-to-school initiatives and food supply contracts. While the code name specifies veal, the actual buying activity captured under it encompasses a far wider range of fresh protein: beef (ground, sliced, shredded), pork (sausage, ham), poultry (chicken parts, whole birds, turkey), and processed meat products. Issuing bodies are nearly exclusively public school districts and regional school systems; the one exception is the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and Department of State Health Services (DSHS), which procure supplemental foods for state hospitals and supported living centers. School nutrition services dominate, with districts treating protein procurement as a line-item competitive bid or as part of larger farm-to-school RFPs that emphasize domestic sourcing, locally raised certification (often within a defined geographic radius), and whole-grain or low-sodium formulations.

The geographic center of recent activity is Georgia, where Bulloch County Schools (RFP issued April 3, 2026, due May 4), Douglas County Schools (RFP issued January 21, 2026, due February 18 and February 4, 2026), City Schools of Decatur (IFB issued April 16, 2026, due May 15), and Early County Board of Education (IFB issued May 11, 2026, due June 8) have all solicited local protein; Henry County Schools (IFB issued March 17, 2026, due May 4) and DeKalb County Schools (ITB issued February 26, 2026, due March 31) round out Georgia activity. Outside Georgia, Garland Independent School District (Texas, RFP 274-27 issued June 11, 2026, due July 23) and Cherokee County School District (Georgia, RFP CP-2026 issued May 28, 2026, due June 11) sought chicken processing services and farm-to-school products respectively. The Texas HHSC and DSHS supplemental food procurement (IFB HHS0016792 issued February 26, 2026, originally due February 23, extended to March 19, 2026, with maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years) and a Missouri school district procurement (Rockwood R-VI, grocery items and NOI products issued March 31, 2026, due April 29) indicate activity beyond the South, though Georgia school districts clearly represent the highest concentration of recent opportunities. Most contracts run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with renewal options of up to four additional years; districts emphasize firm, fixed pricing, HACCP certification, food-safety procedures, liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million depending on the district), and domestic-sourcing or local-radius preferences in evaluation.
