UNSPSC 50112035 Snake, processed with additions is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure processed snake meat and related food products for institutional food service. Recent solicitations in the dataset show this code being used broadly to tag general food procurement — including produce, dairy, poultry, and seafood — rather than specifically for snake products. The actual buying under this code reflects institutional food service needs across state agencies and school districts, with emphasis on USDA-compliant proteins, domestically sourced ingredients, whole-grain products, and low-sodium formulations. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts conducting line-by-line food procurement for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations, supplemented by state-level food-service purchasing through cooperative buying vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative.

Recent activity centers in Georgia, where the Douglas County School System issued an RFP in February 2026 (due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively; the Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids in May 2026 (due June 8, 2026) for food and non-food items across three schools; and the State of Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026). Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with extension and renewal options, include Buy American and HACCP compliance requirements, mandate $500,000 to $1 million general liability insurance, require USDA pricing benchmarks (terminal market reports for produce, Urner Barry pricing for eggs), and permit piggybacking by other school districts on awarded terms.
