UNSPSC 50112035 Snake, processed with additions is a Commodity code that covers processed snake meat and related food products sourced for institutional food service and meal programs. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily school districts and state procurement offices buying food supplies for cafeteria operations and nutrition programs. The recent opportunities show that while the code nominally identifies snake products, state and local procurement offices tag broader food-service solicitations under it, including general food supplies, meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, produce, grains, condiments, and miscellaneous kitchen products. The Early County Board of Education's solicitation, for instance, encompasses approximately 300+ food items across all categories to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Vendors responding to these opportunities must meet domestic sourcing preferences, USDA standards (including 2024 Final Rule whole-grain specifications for bread), Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, food-safety recall procedures, biosecurity policies, general liability insurance of $500,000 or greater, E-Verify compliance, and debarment and suspension verification for contracts exceeding $25,000. Deliveries typically require strict temperature control, stock rotation by sell-by date, and consolidated transportation to multiple school sites with no separate fuel surcharges.

The State of Georgia and Early County Board of Education represent recent solicitation activity under this code. Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and other kitchen products IFB (PE55645NONST2026000000009) on May 15, 2026, with bids due June 22, 2026. Early County Schools issued a line-by-line food bid (PE55045NONST2027000000006) on May 11, 2026, with a due date of June 8, 2026 and questions due May 29, 2026; that contract period runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with award expected approximately 60 days after bid opening. The geographic spread is limited in the recent record to Georgia; no other states appear in the identified opportunities. Vendors should note that bid prices remain firm for 15 days from award, after which escalation requests are considered on a six-month basis using USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data, and price increases exceeding 3% permit school districts to source provisionally elsewhere.
