UNSPSC 50112023 Mixed species meat, processed with additions is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure frozen and cooked processed meat products — boneless beef steaks, pork ends and pieces, chicken leg quarters and strips, turkey, ham, beef patties, bologna, and franks — primarily for correctional facilities, state supported living centers, school districts, and child nutrition programs. The solicitation activity is dominated by state corrections and human services agencies, particularly the Georgia Department of Corrections (which has posted multiple solicitations for beef patties, bologna, franks, leg quarters, and ham), the Oregon Department of Corrections (which regularly solicits chicken and turkey products), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (which sources boneless beef steaks for multiple facilities). The Texas Education Service Center Cooperative (ESCCO), Northside Independent School District, and other school entities also buy under this code, as do state-supported living centers and regional parks. Most issuing bodies conduct competitive bid solicitations (IFB, ITB, or informal request for quotes) with delivery included in firm, all-inclusive pricing and response deadlines typically 7–14 days from posting. Correctional agencies consistently require detailed specification compliance on bid forms, prohibit generic compliance language such as "comply" or checkmarks, and enforce all-inclusive delivery pricing with no separate freight reimbursement.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted four nearly simultaneous boneless beef steak solicitations in mid-October 2026 (IW267710, IW267706, IW267684, IW267690) due October 20–21, 2026, for facilities in Wynne, Palestine, Corpus Christi, and Snyder. Georgia Correctional Industries has posted recurring solicitations throughout the past two months for beef patties, bologna, franks, ham, and leg quarters, all due electronically through the GA@Work portal with strict specification-sheet compliance requirements. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited ground poultry, chicken leg quarters, chicken strips, and cooked turkey in bulk quantities (ranging from 40,000 to 240,000 pounds per item) since early August 2026, applying 5% Oregon fabrication and 5% resident-headquarters preferences for a combined 10% local preference. Non-state entities include Gwinnett County (Georgia) requesting shelf-stable food items including canned proteins for community services (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026), Collier County (Florida) seeking food services via Invitation to Negotiate for a regional park (ITN 258360), and Head Start of Greater Dallas soliciting multiple frozen meat and produce suppliers valued at $969,460.94 (IFB 26-GP, due June 24, 2026). Correctional and state agency procurement dominates the code's recent activity, with strong quarterly and recurring contract patterns suggesting sustained, predictable demand from repeat buyers using standardized electronic bid platforms.
