UNSPSC 50112145: Organic deer, processed without additions

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

UNSPSC 50112145 Organic deer, processed without additions is a Commodity code that does not map meaningfully to the state and local procurement activity shown in recent solicitations. The code's nominal scope—organic deer meat processed without additives—does not align with what is actually being solicited. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect broad school nutrition procurement for processed proteins, fresh produce, grocery staples, and food service supplies. State and local governments under this code designation are primarily school districts (Garland Independent School District, Cherokee County School District, Bulloch County School District, Douglas County School System, DeKalb County School District, Early County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Henry County Schools, City Schools of Decatur), a state health and human services agency (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and state-supported living centers), and individual county and municipal authorities. The solicitations encompass chicken processing, farm-to-school local protein procurement, general grocery procurement with line-item bidding, frozen foods and produce, USDA commodity processing, and supplemental food and consumables for institutional food service operations.

The geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, which shows multiple recent opportunities from school districts across the state (DeKalb County, Douglas County, Henry County, Bulloch County, Early County, and City Schools of Decatur) and from municipalities (Decatur), alongside Texas activity from HHSC serving state facilities statewide and Missouri activity from Rockwood R-VI School District. Representative recent opportunities include Bulloch County School District's RFP for fresh locally raised and processed protein (beef, pork, poultry) due May 4, 2026, with monthly deliveries from July through March and products required to be raised and processed within a 200-mile radius; Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services due February 18, 2026, seeking a main-line food distributor to serve approximately 25,500 students with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and state-supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years, bid deadline February 23, 2026 (extended from February 16, 2026 via addendum). The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual procurement opportunities suggests either misclassification at source or a taxonomy alignment issue that should be confirmed before pursuit.
