UNSPSC 50112219: Non gmo mixed species meat, processed without additions

Products from two or more species of animal, these products have been grown, and harvested in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as Non GMO.

UNSPSC 50112219 Non-GMO mixed species meat, processed without additions is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure processed meat products—chiefly ground beef, beef crumbles, pork sausage, chicken drumsticks and wings, and other fully-cooked or raw protein items—for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and farm-to-school initiatives. Recent solicitations show school districts across Georgia, Texas, and Missouri acquiring both commodity-grade processed meats through main-line food distributors and locally-sourced, farm-raised protein through dedicated RFPs. The code captures work ranging from bulk USDA commodity processing (beef patties, poultry drumsticks, fully-cooked specialty items) to regional farm-to-school meat procurement emphasizing American Grassfed Certification and G.A.P. 5-Step Animal Welfare Standards. Issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts and county school boards, supplemented by state-level health and human services procurement on behalf of state hospitals and supported living centers. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), working with the Department of State Health Services, represents the largest institutional buyer identified, with a three-year potential contract value of $4.5 million for supplemental food and consumable products including processed meats statewide.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Texas. The Bulloch County School District issued an RFP for locally raised and processed protein (beef, pork, poultry) due May 4, 2026, with monthly deliveries July through March; Garland Independent School District (Texas) posted an RFP for farm-to-school products including meats due July 23, 2026; Cherokee County School District (Georgia) solicited chicken processing services with a June 11, 2026 deadline; and the DeKalb County School District (Georgia) issued an ITB for USDA product processing (fully-cooked beef, poultry, and turkey items) due March 31, 2026. Douglas County School System (Georgia) procured food supply and distribution through RFP 26-003 due February 18, 2026, with an estimated annual spend of approximately $9 million. The HHSC solicitations (HHS0016792 and a version two posted May 19, 2026) represent state-level institutional demand with a March 19, 2026 bid deadline. Multiple school districts emphasize firm, fixed pricing for the contract year, domestic sourcing preferences, HACCP compliance, and 24/7 food recall response capability. Evaluation typically weights price 30–40 percent, with quality, service capability, and alignment with district sourcing preferences (including local/farm-to-school goals) comprising the remainder.
