UNSPSC 50112023 Mixed species meat, processed with additions (Commodity) spans processed meat products—including ground poultry, cooked turkey, processed pork, chicken strips, and Bologna-type items—that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care operations. Recent solicitations show school districts, state corrections departments, state health agencies, and Head Start organizations all buying under this code, with volumes ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of pounds annually. Representative recent opportunities include Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB for frozen and fresh meat products (approximately 32,409 cases, response due June 24, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026, historical value approximately $1.5 million annually), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 80,000 pounds of cooked turkey (response due June 22, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District's solicitations for grocery items and Net Off Invoice products (response due April 29, 2026, electronic bidding required).

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Nevada, with additional procurement from Missouri, Virginia, and Florida school districts. Issuing bodies consist primarily of state departments (corrections, health and human services, education), independent school districts, county boards of education, and public institutions. Oregon Department of Corrections stands out as a repeat buyer, posting multiple meat procurements with fixed specifications, FOB Destination pricing, and 10 percent state preference rules (5 percent for Oregon-processed goods, 5 percent for Oregon resident bidders). School districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Virginia show sustained activity, typically issuing annual RFPs or IFBs with firm pricing for 12-month terms and renewable options. Evaluation emphasizes lowest responsive and responsible bidder, compliance with USDA and HACCP standards, delivery performance (including 98 percent+ fill rates and specified delivery windows), and product documentation (nutrition facts, allergen information, CN labels). Contracting bodies frequently require general liability insurance ($1 million minimum), Workers' Compensation coverage, debarment certification, and E-Verify compliance. No federal set-asides appear, though some jurisdictions (Texas, Nevada, Oregon) apply state-level preferences for historically underutilized businesses, local/resident vendors, or Oregon-processed goods that are advisory rather than mandatory set-asides.
