UNSPSC 50112044 Ostrich, processed without additions is a Commodity code that reflects state and local food-service procurement activity, though recent solicitations show minimal direct ostrich purchasing and instead capture broader institutional food-service categories. State and local issuing bodies purchasing under this code include state health agencies (the Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state education departments (Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education in Georgia). The work encompasses provision of food and consumable products to institutional facilities — state-supported living centers, schools participating in federal lunch and breakfast programs, and related on-campus food service operations. Actual recent solicitations under related food-service codes specify meats, poultry, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, bread products meeting USDA whole-grain specifications, fluid milk (pasteurized, multiple fat percentages, and non-dairy alternatives), condiments, and non-food supplies such as food-service disposables, cleaning products, paper goods, and janitorial equipment. Pricing is submitted on firm, fixed unit-rate bases inclusive of labor, materials, equipment, and transportation; historical contract values range from approximately $1.5 million annually for state facility food service. Vendors must comply with Buy American sourcing preferences, maintain HACCP plans, carry appropriate general liability insurance, satisfy debarment verification, comply with E-Verify requirements, and demonstrate past performance through state vendor-tracking systems.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with responses due July 13, 2026, covering NIGP food and supply classes 380, 385, 390, and 393. The Georgia Board of Education posted PE55045NONST2027000000006 on May 11, 2026, for the Early County Board of Education's food bid, due June 8, 2026, specifying line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items and 60+ non-food and paper products for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs across three schools, with contract performance July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, and options to extend. The State of Georgia posted PE55645NONST2026000000009 on May 15, 2026, for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with responses due June 22, 2026.
