UNSPSC 50112004 Beef, processed without additions is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy to support institutional food service operations—primarily school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. The code encompasses processed beef products meeting USDA standards and compliance requirements such as HACCP and nutritional specifications mandated by federal child nutrition and institutional feeding programs. Recent solicitations show demand for ground beef, beef patties, and processed beef items delivered to centralized food service warehouses or directly to multiple school and institutional sites.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts, state departments of corrections and juvenile justice, state health and human services agencies, and county boards of education. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and multiple school districts in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and California dominate recent activity. The Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice awarded an estimated $8.5 million open agency contract to US Foods in April 2026 for groceries and beverages supporting 25 school facilities, though specific beef allocation was not itemized. School districts issue the largest volume of opportunities under this code, with Henry County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) all posting substantial food solicitations in March through May 2026. Georgia Correctional Industries posted multiple meat procurement opportunities in February and March 2026, including ground beef and beef patties bids due in mid-April. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and California, with secondary activity in Missouri and Virginia. Representative opportunities include Head Start of Greater Dallas, Inc. issuing an IFB (26-GP) due June 24, 2026, for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat products estimated at $969,460.94 with a weighted-criteria evaluation emphasizing unit price and product quality; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posting an IFB (HHS0017449) due July 13, 2026, for food and consumable products at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical spend of $1.5 million for the prior contract year; and Georgia Correctional Industries posting IFB 92100GCI0001096 due April 15, 2026, for ground beef and beef patties with delivery to FDU Cold Storage in Milledgeville.
