UNSPSC 50112116: Organic specialty meat, processed with additions

Products (e.g, dog) from a single species not of the Class Aves and other than beef, bison, boar, deer, frog, goat, horse, lamb, land snail, llama, pork, rabbit, snake, turtle, or veal, these products have been grown, handled, and transported in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as organic.

UNSPSC 50112116 Organic specialty meat, processed with additions is a Commodity code capturing state and local procurement of fresh, frozen, and processed protein products—beef, pork, and poultry—sourced from local and organic suppliers for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent opportunities show school districts and state health agencies buying ground beef, sausage, chicken parts, turkey, and processed meat products meeting specifications for USDA compliance, whole-grain alignment, low-sodium formulation, and allergen restrictions; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and multiple Georgia school districts are also procuring supplemental meat and protein items for state hospitals, supported living centers, and school cafeterias across multi-site networks.

Activity clusters heavily in Georgia school districts (Garland ISD, Cherokee County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, DeKalb County Schools, Douglas County Schools, Henry County Schools, Early County Schools) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), with additional statewide procurement from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and Georgia state procurement. School districts are issuing RFPs and IFBs with response dates ranging from late February through July 2026; representative opportunities include Bulloch County Schools seeking locally raised and processed beef, pork, and poultry with monthly deliveries July through March for the 2026-2027 school year (RFP due May 4, 2026), DeKalb County School District requesting USDA product processing services for fully-cooked meat and poultry items (ITB 26-729, due March 31, 2026), Cherokee County School District soliciting chicken processing services (RFP CP-2026, due June 11, 2026), and the Texas HHSC procuring supplemental meat and food products for state hospitals and supported living centers with a maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years (IFB HHS0016792, extended due date February 23, 2026). Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, food recall procedures, liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2 million, and domestic sourcing preferences are consistent requirements across jurisdictions.
