UNSPSC 50112010 Chicken, processed without additions is a Commodity code encompassing fully-cooked, individually quick-frozen chicken products supplied to state agencies, school districts, and institutional food service operations. State and local procurement bodies are buying standardized processed chicken items—breaded patties, fillets, nuggets, tenders, popcorn chicken, and shredded chicken—produced under USDA commodity specifications, CN-labeled or supported by product formulation statements, and meeting Buy American content thresholds (over 51% domestic agricultural content). School districts dominate the solicitation activity under this code, seeking either direct processed chicken products or vendor services to convert USDA commodity chicken into school meal–ready items. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (supporting state-operated residential facilities), independent school districts of varying size, and district-level cooperative purchasing consortia. Recent Georgia school district procurement—Cherokee County School District, DeKalb County School District, and Douglas County School System—signals sustained institutional demand for processed poultry meeting stringent sodium limits, whole-grain breading percentages, and allergen certifications (gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free where applicable).

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, with a July 13, 2026, response deadline, covering food and consumable products including processed chicken for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million. Cherokee County School District (Georgia) issued RFP CP2026 on May 28, 2026, with a June 11, 2026, due date, requesting fourteen distinct chicken product line items from single or multiple qualified processors, with annual usage projected at 196 to 1,078 cases depending on item. DeKalb County School District (Georgia) released ITB 26-729 on February 26, 2026, with a March 31, 2026, deadline, soliciting processing services to convert USDA commodities into fully-cooked poultry products (popcorn chicken, bone-in chicken, General Tso chicken, tamales) for a 12-month term beginning July 1, 2026, with optional renewals. All three opportunities require HACCP compliance, comprehensive insurance ($1 million per occurrence minimum), firm fixed pricing over the contract term, and compliance with civil rights and E-Verify requirements. Processing contracts and finished-goods supply agreements alike specify delivery to school or facility locations on fixed schedules (Monday–Friday in school settings) with no additional fuel or drayage surcharges permitted.
