UNSPSC 50112039 Bison or buffalo, processed with additions is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not support procurement of bison or buffalo products. Instead, the code is being used for a broad range of processed meat and protein items—boneless beef steaks, pork, poultry (chicken strips, leg quarters, halves), bologna, franks, ham, beef patties, and ground poultry—that diverge substantially from the code's nominal scope. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily correctional facilities, state departments of corrections, school districts, and health and human services agencies purchasing proteins for institutional food service. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice dominates recent activity, posting multiple identical solicitations for boneless beef strip steaks across different facilities (Palestine, Corpus Christi, Snyder) in October 2026. The Georgia Department of Corrections and Georgia Correctional Industries have issued repeated bids for bologna, ham, beef patties, franks, and leg quarters throughout September and August 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited chicken products (strips, leg quarters, halves, ground poultry) and cooked turkey multi-muscle across multiple ITBs. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Nevada Youth Training Center, and other state-supported living centers and school districts round out the issuing-body mix.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, and Oregon most heavily, with secondary solicitations from Florida (Collier County), Nevada, Mississippi (Forrest General Hospital), and other states. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicitation IW267710 (Boneless Beef Steaks Wynne) posted October 14, 2026 by the Texas Education Service Center Cooperative, due October 21, 2026, requiring boneless beef steaks with quality and delivery capability demonstrated; the Georgia Department of Corrections eRFQ 92100ERFQ0020722027 (Beef Trim & Beef Fat) posted October 6, 2026, due October 14, 2026, requiring all-inclusive delivery pricing submitted electronically in PDF format with detailed specification compliance statements; and the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017527 (Chicken Halves) posted July 17, 2026, due August 7, 2026, seeking 40,000 pounds of raw, unflavored chicken halves with 5% Oregon-fabrication and 5% resident-headquarters preferences (combined 10% maximum). All-inclusive pricing with FOB Destination delivery, detailed specification compliance, and electronic submission are standard across these opportunities. The code shows active, regular procurement with short response windows (typically 7–21 days) and frequent reposting across facilities and product lines.
