UNSPSC 50112034 Snake, processed without additions is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement practice covers processed food products supplied to schools and institutional foodservice operations. Recent solicitations show that what state and local governments actually buy under this code extends well beyond the narrow commodity name to encompass fresh and processed proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and related foodservice supplies acquired through school nutrition programs and general institutional purchasing. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are primarily school districts and state education agencies. Early County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, and the State of Georgia have posted opportunities in the past three months, with school districts representing the bulk of activity through state cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative, which coordinates procurement for multiple districts simultaneously.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia. Early County Board of Education issued an IFB (PE55045NONST2027000000006) on May 11, 2026 due June 8, 2026 for line-by-line bids covering approximately 300+ food items (meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, condiments) plus 60+ non-food and paper supplies across three schools for the July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term. Douglas County School System posted an RFP (PE64810NONST2026000000047) on February 4, 2026 due March 4, 2026 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two geographic areas, with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. The State of Georgia issued a general food and kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) on May 15, 2026 due June 22, 2026. School nutrition contracts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; vendors must comply with Buy American provisions, maintain HACCP plans, carry minimum general liability insurance of $500,000 to $1 million, satisfy debarment verification, comply with E-Verify, and allow piggybacking by other school districts on identical award terms.
