UNSPSC 50112100: Organic processed meat and poultry products

UNSPSC 50112100 Organic processed meat and poultry products is a Class code under which state and local governments procure fresh and frozen beef, pork, and poultry—both commodity and locally sourced—for school nutrition services, institutional feeding programs, and farm-to-school initiatives. Recent solicitations show school districts dominating procurement activity, with offerings spanning ground beef, chicken breasts and wings, turkey, sausage, and whole poultry products, often with specifications for HACCP compliance, allergen control, whole-muscle cuts, and delivery-ready packaging in cases ranging from 10 to 48 pounds. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is also active under this code, procuring supplemental meat and poultry products for state hospitals and supported living centers across 23 qualified ordering entities statewide. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, county school systems, regional school cooperatives, and state health agencies; Georgia school districts—particularly Garland, Cherokee County, DeKalb County, Bulloch County, Douglas County, and Henry County—account for the bulk of recent activity. A subset of opportunities, notably Bulloch County and Garland Independent School District, emphasize local procurement, requiring meat raised and processed within a 200-mile radius and certified for animal welfare and grassfed standards.

Georgia and Missouri generate the highest recent activity, with additional opportunities posted by Texas state agencies and ongoing school nutrition programs across multiple districts.
