UNSPSC 50112119: Organic mixed species meat, processed without additions

Products from two or more species of animal, these products have been grown, handled, and transported in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as organic.

UNSPSC 50112119 Organic mixed species meat, processed without additions is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure this product primarily through school nutrition programs buying processed meats — ground beef, beef patties, chicken products, pork sausage, and turkey — for school meals. Recent solicitations show school districts purchasing both commodity-grade processed meats and fresh locally raised and processed protein, with specifications emphasizing USDA compliance, HACCP documentation, food safety procedures, and in some cases organic or grassfed certification. Beyond school nutrition, state health and human services agencies buy processed meat products in volume to serve state hospitals and supported living centers. The issuing bodies are overwhelmingly independent school districts and county school systems in varying sizes, along with state-level health and human services departments; no city or municipal governments appear in the recent opportunity set.

Georgia school districts dominate recent activity under this code, with multiple solicitations from Henry County Schools, DeKalb County School District, Bulloch County School District, Douglas County School System, and the City Schools of Decatur, alongside districts in Texas (including Garland Independent School District and Cherokee County School District in Georgia) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted two IFBs for supplemental food and consumables including meat products for state facilities statewide. Representative recent solicitations include Bulloch County School District's RFP for fresh locally raised and processed protein (beef, pork, and poultry) with proposals due May 4, 2026; DeKalb County School District's ITB 26-729 for USDA product processing services, including fully-cooked meat and poultry items, with bids due March 31, 2026; and Garland Independent School District's RFP for farm-to-school food items including meats with proposals due July 23, 2026. Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0016792 V2 for supplemental food and consumables covering 210 line items including meat products had a bid deadline of March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years.
