UNSPSC 50112052 Quail, processed without additions is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The code appears in a single representative opportunity—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026—but that solicitation encompasses a broad range of food items (NIGP classes 380, 385, 390, 393) rather than processed quail specifically. The issuing bodies driving recent activity under food procurement codes in state and local government are principally school districts (Early County Board of Education in Georgia, DeKalb County School District in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia) and health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC), soliciting food service supplies and processed proteins to meet National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and institutional meal-service requirements. Work being procured includes fresh and processed meats, poultry, produce, dairy, and related food-service consumables, typically through IFB or RFP vehicles with firm fixed pricing and multi-year contract terms.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, driven by school district cooperative purchasing through buying cooperatives and individual state agencies. The Texas HHSC El Paso facility procurement (IFB HHS0017449, response due July 13, 2026) carried a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million for September 2025 through August 2026 and runs September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with one renewal option. Early County Board of Education in Georgia issued a line-by-line food bid for three schools (due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items including meats and poultry, with domestic sourcing preferences and emphasis on whole-grain and low-sodium formulations. DeKalb County School District in Georgia solicited USDA product processing services (ITB 26-729, due March 31, 2026) for fully-cooked meat, poultry, and cheese products, and Douglas County School System issued an RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million. Processed-quail demand specifically does not emerge in the recent record; state and local procurement under related food codes focuses on commodity proteins, fresh produce, and dairy rather than specialty poultry products.
