UNSPSC 50112141: Organic ostrich, processed without additions

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

UNSPSC 50112141 Organic ostrich, processed without additions is a Commodity code. The recent state and local solicitation activity tagged under this code does not align with its nominal scope—the code names a single protein product (processed ostrich meat), but the opportunities posted show school districts, state agencies, and regional cooperatives soliciting mainstream protein procurement (beef, chicken, turkey, pork, eggs, and generic fresh produce) through farm-to-school programs, school nutrition services contracts, and state institutional food supply. No vendor solicitation in the dataset explicitly names ostrich or other specialty poultry as a line item or specification. The mismatch between code taxonomy and actual procurement activity suggests either misclassification at source or that ostrich does not currently represent a material procurement category in state and local food service.

School districts across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas dominate the recent activity, with independent school districts (Garland, Cherokee County, Bulloch County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI, Henry County, DeKalb County, Douglas County) posting the majority of notices. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission also issued two Invitations for Bid for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and state supported living centers. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (Bulloch County, Decatur, Henry County, DeKalb County, Douglas County) and includes activity in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI) and Texas (HHSC, potentially statewide). The representative opportunities include Garland Independent School District Farm to School RFP (due July 23, 2026) soliciting local produce and meats; Bulloch County School District RFP for locally raised and processed protein including beef, pork, and poultry (due May 4, 2026); Rockwood R-VI School District grocery item and Net Off Invoice bids (due April 29, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state institutions with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years (due March 19, 2026 or February 23, 2026 under amendment). The code as tagged does not reflect actionable procurement activity for vendors offering processed ostrich products.
