UNSPSC 50112112: Organic lamb or mutton, processed with additions

Products from animals of the genus Ovis, these products have been grown, handled, and transported in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as organic.

UNSPSC 50112112 Organic lamb or mutton, processed with additions is a Commodity code that does not reflect meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunities posted under this code span school nutrition services, USDA commodity food procurement, and institutional food supply across multiple states, but none of the solicitations retrieved explicitly name lamb or mutton as a line item or primary procurement target. Recent school district RFPs in Georgia, Texas, and Missouri solicit comprehensive food service contracts covering proteins (beef, poultry, pork, chicken), produce, dairy, and processed foods for child nutrition programs, yet lamb and mutton do not appear as named commodities in these opportunities. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's statewide supplemental food procurement for state hospitals and supported living centers specifies 210 line items across multiple food categories but does not identify lamb or mutton among them. The code's nominal scope—organic lamb or mutton with processing—diverges from the actual purchasing behavior reflected in recent state and local contract notices.

The issuing bodies include independent school districts (Garland, Cherokee County, Early County, Bulloch County, Decatur, Henry County, Douglas County, Rockwood, and DeKalb County systems in Georgia, Texas, and Missouri), state-level agencies (Texas HHSC and Department of State Health Services), and regional cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative). School nutrition services dominate the procurement activity, with RFPs and ITBs concentrated in Georgia, Texas, and Missouri from January through July 2026. Opportunities emphasize USDA commodity sourcing, locally raised proteins meeting farm-to-school objectives, processed meat products, fresh produce, dairy, and grocery items for child nutrition programs rather than specialty or organic lamb products. Given the absence of lamb or mutton as a specified commodity in recent opportunities and the code's divergence from actual purchasing patterns, this code shows limited relevance to current state and local procurement demand. Vendors targeting institutional food service should monitor code 50111602 (Lamb meat, chilled) or broader protein-procurement codes rather than this commodity-level classification.
