UNSPSC 50112020 Specialty poultry, processed without additions is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of processed poultry products—primarily Cornish game hens, commodity poultry items for institutional food service, and specialty poultry cuts used in school nutrition programs and state health and human services facilities. Recent opportunities show issuing bodies include state health agencies, state education procurement offices, and local school districts managing National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program food service operations. The scope spans line-item poultry bids within broader food and consumable procurement, with emphasis on domestically sourced products, USDA compliance, and firm fixed-unit pricing that rolls into larger institutional meal contracts serving hundreds of students or residents daily.

Activity appears concentrated in the South, with recent solicitations from Texas, Georgia, and Georgia school districts. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited food and consumable products (including specialty poultry) for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449, with a response deadline of July 13, 2026 and a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; the State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid (PE55645NONST2026000000009) on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026; and Early County Board of Education in Georgia requested line-by-line food bids including approximately 300+ food items with poultry as a major component under solicitation PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026. A separate poultry-specific opportunity (Cornish Game Hen, S2910000017577) was posted July 23, 2026, due August 6, 2026, though substantive scope details were not available in the source. School districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, USDA compliance, and Buy American provisions; contract pricing is firm for 15 days post-award with escalation permitted on six-month basis supported by USDA or Consumer Price Index data.
