UNSPSC 50112220 Non-GMO mixed species meat, processed with additions is a Commodity code covering processed meat products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition services, with recent activity focused on fresh and frozen proteins for school meals, processed chicken and mixed-species offerings, and supplemental food supplies for institutional facilities. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with procurement spanning independent districts (Garland, Cherokee County, Early County, Decatur, Bulloch County, Henry County, DeKalb County, Douglas County in Georgia and Missouri) and state-level health and human services agencies procuring for hospital and supported living networks. The scope includes ground beef, sausage, chicken in multiple cuts, turkey, and other mixed-species proteins delivered under strict HACCP, food safety, and cold-chain requirements; many districts specify domestic sourcing preferences, low-sodium formulations, and whole-grain compliance. Evaluation typically weights price at 30–50 percent, with significant emphasis on product quality, vendor capabilities including 24/7 food-recall accessibility, and service infrastructure (online ordering, EDI, delivery tracking).

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with the heaviest concentration in Georgia school districts and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's statewide procurement for 23 facilities. Representative opportunities include Bulloch County School District's RFP for locally raised and processed protein (beef, pork, poultry) with deliveries July through March 2026, proposals due May 4, 2026; Garland Independent School District's farm-to-school RFP covering local produce and meats, due July 23, 2026; Cherokee County School District's chicken processing services RFP, due June 11, 2026; DeKalb County School District's USDA product processing ITB for fully-cooked meat and poultry items, due March 31, 2026; and Texas HHSC's supplemental food procurement covering 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum three-year contract value of $4,500,000 and initial term through August 31, 2026. School districts typically require firm pricing for the contract year with limited midterm adjustments (3–5 percent thresholds) supported by third-party documentation, Buy American compliance, general liability insurance minimums of $1,000,000, and E-Verify verification; many include optional renewal periods extending one to four years.
