UNSPSC 50111715: Non gmo specialty meat, minimally processed without additions

Products (e.g, dog) from a single species not of the Class Aves and other than beef, bison, boar, deer, frog, goat, horse, lamb, land snail, llama, pork, rabbit, snake, turtle, or veal, these products have been grown, and harvested in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as Non GMO.

UNSPSC 50111715 Non-GMO specialty meat, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that describes fresh, locally raised and processed proteins—beef, pork, and poultry—sourced from vendors meeting certifications for animal welfare, food safety, and domestic production standards and delivered to school nutrition programs and state institutional food service operations. State and local governments soliciting under this code include independent school districts, county school systems, and state health and human services agencies operating school meal programs, child nutrition services, and institutional feeding across K-12 and state facility populations. The work encompasses line-item bidding for fresh or frozen proteins (ground beef, chicken wings and breasts, sausage, ham, and whole turkeys), farm-to-school procurement emphasizing local sourcing within specified radii, processing services that convert USDA commodities into ready-to-serve meat products, and general food distribution contracts where proteins represent one component of broader grocery procurement.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary solicitation volume in Missouri. Representative opportunities include Bulloch County School District's RFP for locally raised and processed protein (beef, pork, poultry) from vendors within a 200-mile radius, due May 4, 2026; Garland Independent School District's RFP for farm-to-school products including meats, with sealed proposals due July 23, 2026; Cherokee County School District's RFP for chicken processing services, due June 11, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables (including fresh and frozen proteins) for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum contract value of $4.5 million and initial term through August 31, 2026 with two renewal options; DeKalb County School District's ITB for USDA product processing into fully-cooked meat and poultry items, due March 31, 2026; and the Rockwood R-VI School District's solicitations for grocery items and net-off-invoice products (including beef, chicken, turkey, and pork) for the 2026-27 school year, with bids due April 29, 2026. School districts typically award on lowest responsive and responsible bidder, enforce firm fixed pricing with limited midterm adjustment provisions tied to manufacturer price increases, require HACCP plans and food safety documentation, mandate delivery within specified day/time windows, and commonly restrict awards to domestic sourcing with local-preference weighting in RFP evaluation.
