UNSPSC 50112019 Specialty meat, processed with additions is a Commodity code encompassing processed meat products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service—primarily schools, correctional facilities, and child care programs. Recent solicitations show school districts, state departments of corrections, departments of juvenile justice, and youth training centers buying items such as cooked turkey, ground poultry, chicken strips, boneless pork loins, ham, bologna, breakfast patties, leg quarters, and cooked turkey ends and pieces, typically in bulk quantities measured in thousands of pounds, delivered to central warehouses or individual school sites with strict USDA grade and food-safety compliance requirements. The issuing bodies span state corrections departments (Oregon ODOC, Georgia Correctional Industries, Texas TDCJ, Nevada Youth Training Center), state-supported living centers (Texas HHSC), school districts (Early County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Henry County Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Schools in Georgia), Head Start programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and juvenile justice departments (Georgia DJJ). Orders emphasize USDA Procurement Grade B or better, HACCP compliance, domestic sourcing preferences where applicable, and nutritional specifications including sodium limits, fat content caps, and whole-muscle or boneless configurations.

The code shows strong recent activity across the South and West. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple solicitations for specialty meats including chicken strips raw (200,000 pounds, ITB S2910000016886, due May 26, 2026), ground poultry (120,000 pounds, ITB S2910000016599, due April 24, 2026), cooked whole turkey multi-muscle (40,000–80,000 pounds in two separate solicitations, ITBs S2910000016598 and S2910000017165, due April 24 and June 22, 2026), pork boneless loins (40,000 pounds, ITB S2910000016596, due April 24, 2026), and chicken leg quarters (120,000 pounds, ITB S2910000016206, due March 26, 2026). Georgia Correctional Industries and Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice are frequent buyers (dark ground chicken, bologna, ham, leg quarters, ground beef and beef patties, breakfast patties, and school-district groceries including meat components). Texas entities including HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) and Head Start of Greater Dallas (IFB 26-GP, due June 24, 2026) are also active. School districts in Georgia (Henry County, Liberty County, Early County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Virginia (Fairfax County) all posted food procurement solicitations with specialty-meat line items. Geographic concentration appears in Oregon, Georgia, and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri, Virginia, and Nevada. Contract values range from estimated $66,000–$268,000 for single ODOC specialty-meat awards to $969,460 for Head Start of Greater Dallas's comprehensive grocery procurement and $8.5 million for Georgia DJJ's open agency groceries contract. Most solicitations are IFBs or ITBs with firm pricing, FOB Destination delivery, and standard 30-day or 6-month shelf-life requirements; many accept bids through electronic procurement portals (OregonBuys, NevadaEPro, Bonfire) and reserve right-of-award flexibility across line items or vendors.
