UNSPSC 50112026 Horse, processed without additions is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement opportunities in the dataset. The posted solicitations under this code focus overwhelmingly on beef, pork, poultry, and other processed meat products—boneless beef steaks, frozen chicken strips, pork loin, bologna, ham, and ground poultry—rather than processed horse meat. The code's nominal scope (equine products) diverges sharply from what state and local governments are actually buying, which is conventional institutional food service protein for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, and related public entities.

The issuing bodies are primarily state corrections and human services agencies, school districts, and specialized state-operated facilities. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Texas Health and Human Services Commission dominate the recent activity, alongside school districts and county governments in Georgia, Texas, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple boneless beef steak solicitations (IW267710, IW267706, IW267684, IW267690) posted in mid-October 2026 with response dates in October; Georgia Correctional Industries' recurring ITBs for bologna, ham, beef patties, and leg quarters between August and September 2026; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' multiple chicken and pork solicitations (raw strips, leg quarters, ground poultry, cooked turkey) in May through August 2026. All of these opportunities reflect state-level food procurement through electronic portal systems (Bonfire, GA@Work, OregonBuys, NevadaEPro) with all-inclusive, prepaid FOB Destination pricing structures and strict specification compliance requirements. The geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, and Oregon as primary procurement centers, with secondary activity in Nevada, Florida, and other states. The code shows no substantive recent demand for actual processed horse meat from state and local buyers.
