UNSPSC 50111748: Non gmo pheasant, minimally processed with additions

Products from animals of the family Phasianidae and genera Phasianus or Chrysolophus (typically the Common Pheasant, Phasianus colchicus, or the Golden pheasant, Chrysolophus pictus), these products have been grown, and harvested in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as Non GMO.

UNSPSC 50111748 Non gmo pheasant, minimally processed with additions is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under recent food procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged with this code center on school nutrition services procurement — produce, proteins, eggs, dairy, frozen goods, and processed food products — rather than pheasant or game birds. School districts across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas are issuing RFPs and IFBs for comprehensive food supply contracts, farm-to-school local protein initiatives, and USDA product processing services to support child nutrition programs serving tens of thousands of students daily. The issuing bodies are primarily independent school districts and county school systems, alongside state-level agencies such as the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Georgia Department of Education. Evaluation criteria typically weight price at 30–50 points, product quality and service capability at 20–30 points, and vendor experience and compliance at 20–30 points. Contracts run July 1 through June 30 with optional one-year renewals; pricing must be firm for the contract term, with midterm adjustments permitted only for documented manufacturer price increases exceeding 3–5 percent supported by USDA or industry pricing data. Vendors must maintain general liability insurance ranging from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence, comply with Buy American provisions, demonstrate HACCP certification, and carry food recall procedures and biosecurity policies.

School districts in Georgia — including Garland Independent School District, Bulloch County School District, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Henry County Schools, and Douglas County School System — dominate the recent activity, each issuing solicitations for farm-to-school products, frozen foods and groceries, local proteins, and fresh produce in 2026. The Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri has posted two separate bids for grocery items and net-off-invoice products. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services are procuring supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Representative solicitations include Garland ISD's RFP for farm-to-school products due July 23, 2026; Cherokee County School District's RFP for chicken processing services due June 11, 2026; Bulloch County School District's RFP for locally raised and processed protein (beef, pork, poultry) due May 4, 2026; Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food and non-food bid due June 8, 2026; City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026; and DeKalb County School District's ITB for USDA product processing services due March 31, 2026. Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia, with secondary activity in Missouri and Texas, reflecting state-level procurement alignment with school calendar cycles and USDA commodity distribution timelines.
