UNSPSC 50112015 Lamb or mutton, processed with additions is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code to procure processed meat products for institutional food service, but recent solicitations show the code is being applied to a far broader range of frozen protein purchases—boneless beef steaks, frozen chicken products, pork ends and pieces, bologna, ham, and ground poultry—spanning correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, and public health agencies. The issuing-body mix includes state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Nevada Youth Training Center), school districts (Northside Independent School District), educational institutions (University of Wisconsin-Madison, Head Start of Greater Dallas), counties (Gwinnett County, Collier County, Forrest General Hospital in Mississippi), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Texas Education Service Center Cooperative). Georgia Correctional Industries appears repeatedly across multiple food protein solicitations (bologna, ham, beef patties, franks, leg quarters, beef trim and fat) issued through the Department of Corrections, indicating sustained and specialized food-service procurement activity within that system.

Recent opportunities cluster heavily in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest—Texas, Georgia, and Oregon dominate the visible activity, with secondary activity in Florida, Nevada, Wisconsin, Mississippi, and North Carolina. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting frozen boneless beef strip steaks for delivery to multiple facilities (Corpus Christi, Palestine, Snyder) under IB IW267684, IW267690, and IW267706, all with responses due October 20–21, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing multiple ITBs for boneless pork ends and pieces (approximately 40,000 pounds, bids due October 23, 2026 at $0.49 per pound historical pricing) and various poultry products; Georgia Correctional Industries soliciting bologna, franks, leg quarters, ham, and beef trim and fat through electronic RFQ via the GA@Work portal with all-inclusive delivery pricing and tight response windows (October 2–23, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting food service groceries for the Mexia State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017799 (canteen and frozen foods, bids due August 25, 2026, historical value approximately $160,500–$1.5 million depending on facility). Institutional food procurement under this code typically mandates detailed specification compliance, all-inclusive FOB Destination pricing with freight prepaid, electronic submission through state procurement portals (Bonfire Hub, GA@Work, OregonBuys, Team Georgia Marketplace, NevadaEPro), and award to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder; Oregon and Texas both offer geographic preferences (5–10% for state-processed or -fabricated goods and resident vendors), and several states require USDA grading compliance, food safety certifications, and liability insurance.
