UNSPSC 50112051 Pheasant, processed with additions (Commodity) covers processed poultry products supplied to state institutions and school districts, though recent solicitations show the code sees limited direct application to pheasant specifically—rather, state and local buyers are procuring processed chicken, turkey, and poultry items as part of broader food and nutrition programs. The actual goods being bought are fully-cooked, ready-to-serve poultry products (drumsticks, wings, crumbles, patties, tamales, and deli slices), processed meats meeting HACCP and food-safety standards, and packaged protein items for school meal compliance and institutional food service. State entities, county school districts, and boards of education are the primary issuing bodies; institutions such as the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Georgia school systems (DeKalb County School District, Douglas County School System, Early County Board of Education) appear repeatedly in recent solicitations. Vendors must carry general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million per occurrence), maintain HACCP plans and food recall procedures, comply with Buy American and E-Verify requirements where applicable, and meet allergen and nutritional specifications for school meal programs.

Georgia and Texas dominate recent activity. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products (with a historical value of $1.5 million annually) due July 13, 2026. DeKalb County School District issued ITB 26-729 in late February 2026 for USDA product processing services—fully-cooked beef, poultry, and cheese items—due March 31, 2026, with a virtual pre-bid conference on March 17. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026, covering 300+ food items and non-food supplies for school lunch and breakfast programs, due June 8, 2026. Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 in early February 2026 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia (estimated $4.4 million for Area One, $1.1 million for Area Two), with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. Georgia also posted a statewide food and supplies bid (PE55645NONST2026000000009) in May 2026. The code shows meaningful recent volume but limited specificity to pheasant—most opportunities reflect institutional and school nutrition procurement of processed poultry and fresh proteins with standardized specifications, firm fixed pricing, and multi-year terms.
