UNSPSC 50112124: Organic horse, processed with additions

Products from animals of the species Equus caballus (domestic horse), these products have been grown, handled, and transported in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as organic.

UNSPSC 50112124 Organic horse, processed with additions is a Commodity code. State and local governments procuring under this code are sourcing school nutrition products—primarily processed meats and proteins for child nutrition programs. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations explicitly requesting organic horse meat; instead, school districts and state agencies are issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for conventional proteins (chicken processing, beef, pork, poultry), fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive grocery and food-service items to support National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, and institutional food services at state hospitals and supported living centers. The code as named does not align with the actual scope of recent state and local procurement activity captured in the opportunities block.

The issuing bodies include independent school districts (Garland ISD, Cherokee County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Bulloch County Schools, Henry County Schools, DeKalb County Schools, Douglas County Schools), a state health and human services commission (Texas HHSC), and a state education or nutrition cooperative vehicle (Georgia Education Cooperative, GEC Buying Cooperative). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Missouri, with activity also in Texas and South Carolina. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables statewide (posted February 26, 2026, due February 23, 2026, maximum contract value $4,500,000 over three years); Garland Independent School District RFP 274-27 for farm-to-school local produce, meats, and food items (posted June 11, 2026, due July 23, 2026); and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two areas, estimated at $5.5 million annually (due March 4, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity for organic horse meat specifically.
