UNSPSC 50112011 Chicken, processed with additions (Commodity) covers finished poultry products supplied to institutional food service operations, particularly school districts and state health agencies. State and local governments under this code buy fully cooked, individually quick frozen chicken products in multiple formats—breaded patties, fillets, nuggets, strips, chunks, and shredded chicken—meeting USDA commodity specifications, HACCP and traceability requirements, domestic sourcing mandates, and nutritional standards including sodium limits and whole-grain breading percentages. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with state health and human services agencies and school nutrition programs representing the core customer base. Recent solicitations show districts purchasing chicken as part of broader school meal programs rather than as standalone commodity awards, though some jurisdictions issue dedicated RFPs for chicken processing and distribution services.
