UNSPSC 50111708: Non gmo veal, minimally processed with 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 50111708 Non-GMO veal, minimally processed with additions is a Commodity code that represents a narrow protein category within state and local school nutrition procurement, though recent solicitations show minimal direct demand for veal specifically. Instead, state and local education agencies are soliciting broadly for fresh and processed proteins—beef, pork, and poultry—under farm-to-school and general food service contracts. School districts across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas are issuing RFPs and IFBs for comprehensive protein procurement, fresh locally sourced meat products, USDA commodity processing, and general food supply distribution. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Garland ISD, Cherokee County, Bulloch County, Henry County, DeKalb County, Douglas County, Decatur City Schools), regional school systems (Rockwood R-VI), state health agencies (Texas HHSC/DSHS), and cooperative buying vehicles serving multiple districts. Evaluation criteria typically weight price between 30 and 60 percent, with remaining points allocated to product quality, vendor capability, service responsiveness, and alignment with district preferences for whole-grain, low-sodium, and domestic-sourced products.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Texas. Recent representative solicitations include Garland ISD's Farm to School RFP (due July 23, 2026) seeking local produce and meats for school nutrition services; Bulloch County Schools' IFP for locally raised and processed protein (due May 4, 2026) requiring products raised and processed within 200 miles, with monthly volumes ranging from 800 to 34,000 pounds across beef, pork, and poultry; DeKalb County's ITB 26-729 for USDA Product Processing (due March 31, 2026) specifying fully-cooked meat, poultry, and cheese products; Rockwood R-VI's dual grocery procurement (due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items with firm fixed pricing; and Douglas County's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution (due February 18, 2026) with estimated annual expenditure of $9 million. The veal code itself sees no recent direct solicitation activity and appears misaligned with actual current procurement, which favors beef crumbles and patties, chicken (wings, drumsticks, breast, thighs, whole), pork (breakfast sausage, ground, sliced ham), and turkey products. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor broader protein and USDA commodity processing opportunities rather than expect direct veal requests.
