UNSPSC 50112053 Quail, processed with additions is a Commodity code that captures processed poultry products, particularly specialty game birds, purchased by state and local health and human services agencies, school districts, and institutional food service operations. State and local governments buy these products as part of broader food service and nutrition programs for residential facilities, schools, and supported-living centers. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state education agencies, and independent school districts. The code appears in solicitations bundled with broader food and consumable products rather than as standalone quail purchases, reflecting the occasional nature of specialty poultry procurement relative to commodity staples like chicken, beef, and seafood.

Recent activity shows Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS0017449, IFB, due July 13, 2026) soliciting food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under a $1.5 million historical spend baseline, and Early County Board of Education in Georgia (PE55045NONST2027000000006, line-item bid, due June 8, 2026) requesting approximately 300+ food items including meats and poultry to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Georgia school district emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without artificial additives, with firm pricing plus transportation included and price escalation capped at 3% on a six-month basis. The State of Georgia also posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) with full scope details contained in an attached PDF. Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with school districts and state agencies representing the primary institutional buyers. One solicitation posted in July 2026 references Cornish Game Hen (S2910000017577, due August 6, 2026) but lacks substantive content details.
