UNSPSC 50112018 Specialty meat, processed without additions, is a Commodity code covering processed meat products that state and local procurement offices buy for institutional food service—principally school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and social services agencies. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies procuring cooked turkey, ground poultry, boneless pork loins, chicken leg quarters, raw chicken strips, breakfast patties, ham, bologna, and ground beef and beef patties for meal service across elementary, middle, and high schools; state-supported living centers; youth training centers; and correctional facilities. The work spans weekly or bulk delivery of USDA-compliant frozen and processed protein products meeting nutritional specifications, shelf-life requirements, and federal food safety standards including HACCP and FDA/USDA certification.

Issuing bodies span Georgia state agencies (Department of Corrections Industries, Department of Juvenile Justice, Health and Human Services Commission), Oregon Department of Corrections, Nevada Department of Administration, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and independent school districts in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Florida. School districts represent the largest segment, with recent solicitations from Fairfax County Public Schools, Henry County Schools, Douglas County School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, and Early County Board of Education. Correctional and youth facilities issue quarterly and annual meat solicitations. Head Start programs and child nutrition services round out the mix. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Nevada, Missouri, Virginia, and Florida, with Georgia showing the heaviest volume across state corrections, juvenile justice, and school district opportunities.
