UNSPSC 50112038 Bison or buffalo, processed without additions is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure rarely under this specific designation; the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting bison or buffalo products. The code's abstract framing—processed bison or buffalo meat suitable for institutional food service—does not match the actual procurement activity visible in the source material, which shows school districts, correctional facilities, and other public entities soliciting turkey, chicken, ground poultry, pork, beef, ham, and other conventional proteins far more frequently than bison or buffalo. The issuing bodies pursuing processed-meat procurement include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Georgia, Texas, Nevada), state health and human services agencies, county school districts (Henry County, Liberty County, Douglas County, Early County, Fairfax County, Rockwood R-VI), Head Start programs, and correctional-industries departments across multiple states—but none of the posted solicitations name bison or buffalo as the commodity being sought.

The geographic spread of recent meat procurement activity centers on Oregon, Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Virginia, with solicitations from state correctional systems and school nutrition programs dominating the volume. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' Invitation to Bid S2910000016206 for 120,000 pounds of chicken leg quarters due March 26, 2026; Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026, covering 300+ food items including meats, poultry, and dairy; and Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for grocery products (frozen foods, produce, and meat) due June 24, 2026, with estimated value of $969,460.94. Because the recent opportunities block contains no bison or buffalo solicitations, this code shows no actionable procurement activity in the current market.
