UNSPSC 50112142: Organic ostrich, processed with 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 50112142 Organic ostrich, processed with additions is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve school nutrition services procurement for a broad range of food products — chicken processing, fresh produce, eggs, frozen foods, grocery items, and local protein — but none specifically reference ostrich meat or ostrich-based products. The opportunities are dominated by school districts and state health agencies procuring mainstream protein sources and commodity items for child nutrition programs and institutional food services.

State and local solicitations under or near this code are concentrated in Georgia and Missouri, with activity from the Garland Independent School District (Texas), Cherokee County School District (Georgia), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the State of Georgia, Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Henry County Schools (Georgia), DeKalb County School District (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). Recent RFPs and IFBs include Garland ISD's farm-to-school RFP for local produce and meats (response deadline July 23, 2026), Cherokee County School District's chicken processing services RFP (due June 11, 2026), the Texas HHSC's supplemental food and consumables IFB for state hospitals and supported living centers serving up to 23 facilities statewide (due March 19, 2026, maximum contract value $4.5 million), Early County Board of Education's food bid for approximately 300+ line items supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program (due June 8, 2026), and Bulloch County School District's local protein RFP seeking beef, pork, and poultry raised and processed within 200 miles (due May 4, 2026). This code does not reflect active state and local demand for ostrich products; vendors in specialty or exotic proteins should monitor emerging farm-to-school or local-sourcing initiatives where procurement language explicitly opens to alternative proteins.
