UNSPSC 50112106 Organic chicken, processed with additions is a Commodity code that covers processed poultry products supplied to school nutrition services and state institutional food programs. State and local government procurement under this code focuses on ready-to-eat and heat-and-serve chicken items—bone-in drumsticks and wings, boneless breast and thigh cuts, ground chicken, and specialty preparations such as General Tso chicken and chicken tamales—delivered frozen or refrigerated to school kitchens and state facility cafeterias. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including independent districts (Garland, Cherokee County, Early County, Rockwood, Henry County, DeKalb County, Douglas County), though state health and human services agencies also procure under this code for institutional dining at hospitals and supported living centers. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (Garland, Cherokee County, Early County, Rockwood, Henry County, DeKalb County, Douglas County all active within the past four months) and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri.

Recent opportunities include Garland Independent School District's farm-to-school RFP (posted June 11, 2026, proposals due July 23, 2026) seeking local produce and meats for school nutrition services with evaluation weighted 40 points on purchase price, 30 on quality, and 30 on alignment with district needs; Cherokee County School District's RFP for chicken processing services (posted May 28, 2026, proposals due June 11, 2026) on the Euna Procurement portal; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's Invitation for Bids for supplemental food and consumables including frozen and refrigerated proteins for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (posted February 26, 2026 as HHS0016792, with bid response deadline extended to February 23, 2026, maximum potential contract value $4,500,000 over three years). DeKalb County School District issued Invitation to Bid 26-729 for USDA product processing (posted February 26, 2026, bids due March 31, 2026) seeking fully-cooked meat and poultry products including drumsticks, wings, and whole-muscle chicken for school meals, with firm fixed pricing for a 12-month initial term beginning July 1, 2026, and four optional one-year renewals. School districts typically require HACCP plans, food recall procedures, liability insurance of $1,000,000 to $2,000,000, compliance with Buy American provisions, and E-Verify authorization; pricing must include delivery to designated school or facility locations with no separate fuel surcharges permitted.
