UNSPSC 50112049 Deer, processed with additions is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity captured in the source. The opportunities tagged under this code are overwhelmingly for processed meat products—chicken, turkey, pork, beef, bologna, and ham—procured by correctional facilities, school districts, child nutrition programs, and youth detention centers across Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Nevada, Missouri, and Virginia. None of the recent solicitations name deer or game meat as the primary or secondary commodity being bought. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or that this UNSPSC code is rarely used in practice by the jurisdictions that post opportunities.

Activity under the code is concentrated among state correctional departments (Oregon DOC, Georgia Correctional Industries, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Nevada Youth Training Center), school nutrition programs (Early County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Henry County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools), Head Start agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and state health and human services commissions. Recent opportunities reflect recurring quarterly and annual procurements for institutional food service: the Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for chicken strips, ground poultry, cooked turkey, and pork loins with 30- to 45-day delivery windows and historical pricing in the $0.68–$2.94 per pound range; Head Start of Greater Dallas released an IFB for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and meat products valued at $969,460.94 with response date June 24, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requested bids for food and consumables for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical value of $1.5 million; and school districts across Georgia and Missouri issue annual grocery and meat solicitations with firm pricing and 12-month contract terms. Evaluation criteria typically emphasize unit price, product quality, compliance with USDA and HACCP standards, delivery performance (95–98% fill rates), and increasingly, small-business or minority-vendor preferences weighted at 1–5% in scoring. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Oregon, Georgia, and Texas, with secondary activity in Nevada, Missouri, and Virginia. No deer or game-meat specific opportunities appear in the recent record.
