UNSPSC 50112239: Non gmo goose, processed without additions

Products from animals of the genus Anser (domestic goose), these products have been grown, and harvested in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as Non GMO.

UNSPSC 50112239 Non-GMO goose, processed without additions is a Commodity code that captures highly specialized protein procurement for school nutrition and institutional food service operations, though the recent state and local opportunities show minimal direct demand for goose meat itself and instead reflect broader institutional food procurement where goose would theoretically fit as a specialty protein option. School districts, state health agencies, and regional buying cooperatives represent the issuing bodies active under this code tier, with recent activity concentrated in Georgia and Texas. The code's nominal scope—processed poultry without additives—aligns with institutional buyers' emphasis on clean-label, minimally processed proteins; however, the opportunities cited in the record focus on chicken processing, fresh produce, general grocery items, and commodity product distribution rather than goose specifically. State and local purchasing offices tag procurement under broader food-service categories (fresh proteins, USDA commodity processing, school nutrition) where goose would be a niche alternative to mainstream proteins like chicken, beef, and pork.

Recent representative opportunities include the Garland Independent School District's June 2026 farm-to-school RFP seeking local produce and meats with a July 23, 2026 response deadline, the Bulloch County School District's April 2026 RFP for locally raised and processed beef, pork, and poultry with monthly deliveries (May 4, 2026 deadline), and the DeKalb County School District's February 2026 ITB for USDA product processing covering poultry and meat items with a March 31, 2026 bid deadline. Georgia school districts and cooperatives dominate recent activity, with multiple solicitations emphasizing local sourcing preferences, HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions, and firm fixed pricing. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's February and May 2026 IFBs for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers across multiple facilities represent the largest identified opportunities, with contract values reaching $4.5 million over three years and 210 line items encompassing proteins and specialty foods. Goose meat itself does not appear in any named recent solicitation; vendors pursuing this code should recognize that demand is driven by institutional nutritionists' menu innovation and farm-to-school initiatives rather than routine procurement, and should target school districts with documented local-sourcing or specialty-protein programs.
