UNSPSC 50112202: Non gmo beef, processed with additions

Products from mature animals of the genus Bos, these products have been grown, and harvested in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as Non GMO.

UNSPSC 50112202 Non GMO beef, processed with additions is a Commodity code that describes state and local procurement of beef products—typically ground beef, sliced steaks, shredded beef, and processed beef items—for school nutrition programs and institutional food services. Recent solicitations show school districts purchasing both conventionally sourced processed beef through standard food-service distributors and, increasingly, locally raised and certified beef products that meet specific animal welfare and sourcing standards. The code sees activity primarily from school districts and state health agencies issuing food-service RFPs and IFBs. Garland Independent School District posted RFP 274-27 on June 11, 2026, for farm-to-school products including meats with a response due July 23, 2026; evaluation weighted purchase price (40 points), quality of goods (30 points), and alignment with district needs (30 points). Bulloch County School District issued an RFP on April 3, 2026, for locally raised and processed protein (beef, pork, poultry) with response due May 4, 2026, requiring products raised and processed within a 200-mile radius, American Grassfed Certification, and G.A.P. 5-Step Animal Welfare Standards Certification, with monthly deliveries from July through March and projected beef volumes ranging up to 34,000 pounds. Several school districts—Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Henry County Schools, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri—have posted concurrent procurements for comprehensive grocery and meat products in the 2026–2027 school year, indicating sustained demand.

Procurement activity clusters in Georgia and Missouri school districts, with additional activity from Texas state agencies. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792 in February 2026 (updated as HHS0016792V2 in May 2026) for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, encompassing 210 line items including proteins, with a maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years and a response deadline of March 19, 2026 for the original issuance. Georgia school districts dominate recent postings: Bulloch County (April 3, 2026), Douglas County School System via GEC Buying Cooperative for produce and eggs (February 4, 2026) and food supply distribution (January 21, 2026), DeKalb County for USDA product processing (February 26, 2026), Henry County (March 17, 2026), City Schools of Decatur (April 16, 2026), Cherokee County for chicken processing (May 28, 2026), and Garland Independent School District in Texas (June 11, 2026). All school-district solicitations emphasize firm fixed pricing, compliance with USDA nutrition standards, HACCP certification, food recall procedures, and Buy American or local-sourcing preferences where applicable. Georgia school districts consistently require liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence with the district named as additional insured, E-Verify compliance, and debarment certifications. Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options extending up to four additional years. The code shows no specific set-aside designations for minority-owned, women-owned, or disadvantaged businesses in the recent opportunities posted, though some solicitations note commitments to providing maximum practicable opportunities to such firms consistent with federal standards.
