UNSPSC 50111723: Non gmo horse, minimally processed without additions

Products from animals of the species Equus caballus (domestic horse), these products have been grown, and harvested in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as Non GMO.

UNSPSC 50111723 Non-GMO horse, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that sits at the narrowest tier of the taxonomy, yet the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it does not reflect the code's nominal scope. School districts and state agencies soliciting under this code are procuring school nutrition services food products — fresh produce, eggs, proteins (beef, chicken, pork, turkey), processed meats, dairy, and grocery staples for child nutrition programs and state institutional food service — not equine meat products. The mismatch between the code label and the actual work being bought suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that the code's definition has drifted from current purchasing practice. State and local issuing bodies pursuing food service procurement — including independent school districts (Garland ISD, Cherokee County Schools, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Bulloch County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Henry County Schools, DeKalb County Schools, Douglas County Schools), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia), and county school systems — use RFP, IFB, and ITB notice types for annual or multi-year competitive procurements. Evaluation typically weights price heavily (30–50 points), with secondary criteria addressing product quality, compliance with nutrition standards, delivery capabilities, and vendor qualifications including HACCP certification, insurance, and E-Verify status.

The geographic concentration of recent activity centers on Georgia and Texas, with standout repeat buyers including the Douglas County School System (three solicitations for fresh produce, eggs, and main-line food distribution), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (two iterations of a statewide supplemental food and consumables bid for state hospitals and supported living centers valued at $4.5 million over three years), DeKalb County Schools, Decatur City Schools, and multiple rural Georgia school districts (Early County, Bulloch County, Henry County). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792V2 (posted May 19, 2026, due March 19, 2026) for 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables across state institutional facilities statewide; the Garland Independent School District's RFP 274-27 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 23, 2026 at 10:30 a.m.) for farm-to-school local produce, meats, and other food items; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026) for a main-line food service distributor supplying approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. The code shows no relevant recent activity and appears misapplied to school nutrition procurement at scale.
