UNSPSC 50112005 Beef, processed with additions is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure processed beef products—principally ground beef, beef patties, and fabricated beef items—for institutional food service operations including correctional facilities, youth detention centers, and school districts. The code sees active procurement across state corrections departments, school nutrition programs, and specialized institutional food service buyers, with recent solicitations emphasizing USDA grade specifications, sodium and fat content limits, shelf-life requirements, and compliance with federal food safety standards including HACCP.

State and local issuing bodies span Georgia Correctional Industries (GCI), Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC), Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), and multiple school districts and Head Start programs across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and California. Georgia Correctional Industries appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple procurement notices for ground beef, beef patties, and ham for the FDU Cold Storage Warehouse in Milledgeville. School districts including Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), and Henry County Schools (Georgia) solicit processed beef within broader grocery or food service contracts. Recent opportunities include Ground Beef & Beef Patties (GCI, IFB, due April 15, 2026); Chicken Breakfast Patties with turkey option (GCI, due April 15, 2026); and ground poultry and cooked turkey products from ODOC (ITBs with April and June 2026 deadlines). Head Start of Greater Dallas, Inc. solicited approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and meat products under IFB 26-GP (due June 24, 2026, $969,460.94 estimated value), while the Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with prior-period historical value of $1.5 million). School districts typically award on line-item or primary/secondary vendor basis with evaluation criteria weighting price heavily alongside product quality, delivery capability, and compliance; institutional buyers frequently apply 95%+ fill-rate requirements, mandate HACCP compliance and liability insurance ($1 million general liability common), and require firm pricing for 12-month or longer terms with indexed price-adjustment provisions tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index data. Oregon applies a combined 10% state-preference discount (5% for Oregon-fabricated goods, 5% for resident bidders), and Texas encourages participation from small business, minority-owned, and woman-owned enterprises without strict set-asides. Procurement is concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, with DJJ and GCI as high-volume buyers), Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections), South-Central (Texas school districts and Head Start), and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia, Missouri); activity has remained steady across the first half of 2026 with school nutrition bids clustering around spring-to-summer contract-year transitions (July 1 effective dates typical).
