UNSPSC 50111716: Non gmo specialty meat, minimally processed with 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 50111716 Non GMO specialty meat, minimally processed with additions is a Commodity code that covers fresh and frozen protein products—beef, pork, poultry, and processed meat items—procured by state and local school districts, state health agencies, and county education systems to support child nutrition and institutional feeding programs. State and local governments use this code to source locally raised or certified specialty meats meeting animal welfare, food safety, and processing specifications for school lunch and breakfast programs, as well as for state hospital and supported living center meal services. Recent solicitations emphasize farm-to-school sourcing, American Grassfed or GAP certification, HACCP compliance, and minimally processed formulations without added sugars or artificial additives.

School districts across Georgia and Missouri dominate recent activity under this code, with Garland Independent School District, Cherokee County School District, Bulloch County School District, City Schools of Decatur, DeKalb County School District, Douglas County School System, and Rockwood R-VI School District issuing RFPs or IFBs for protein procurement in the past four months. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission also procures supplemental food items including proteins for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. Representative recent opportunities include Bulloch County School District's Invitation for Proposal for fresh locally raised and processed protein (beef, pork, poultry) with proposals due May 4, 2026, requiring American Grassfed Certification and GAP 5-Step Animal Welfare Standards Certification, products raised and processed within a 200-mile radius, and monthly deliveries from July through March serving approximately 11,200 students; DeKalb County School District's Invitation to Bid 26-729 for USDA Product Processing services, with bids due March 31, 2026, seeking processing and packaging of fully-cooked beef, poultry, turkey, and cheese products meeting sodium and whole-grain requirements; and Garland Independent School District's RFP 274-27 for farm-to-school products including meats, with proposals due July 23, 2026, evaluated on purchase price (40 points), quality (30 points), and alignment with district needs (30 points).
