UNSPSC 50192504: Frozen sandwich fillers

UNSPSC 50192504 Frozen sandwich fillers is a Commodity code that covers ready-to-eat frozen prepared meat and poultry products used in institutional food service, particularly in school districts, corrections facilities, and child nutrition programs. State and local procurement activity under this code reflects demand for pre-portioned, shelf-stable protein items that reduce kitchen preparation time and standardize nutrition profiles for large-scale meal programs. Recent solicitations show buyers seeking ground poultry, cooked turkey, chicken strips, leg quarters, and similar value-added frozen proteins that meet USDA procurement grades, HACCP compliance, and specific nutritional targets (sodium limits, fat content specifications) for Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and National School Lunch Program (NSLP) compliance.

Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Georgia, Nevada, Texas), state education and health agencies, county and municipal school districts (Fairfax County Virginia, Henry County Georgia, Liberty County Georgia, Early County Georgia, Douglas County Georgia, Rockwood Missouri), and Head Start programs. Georgia Correctional Industries and the Oregon Department of Corrections appear as repeat buyers. Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia is a standout jurisdiction with multiple correctional and school district solicitations), with additional volume in Oregon, Texas, Nevada, and Virginia. Head Start of Greater Dallas issued IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods including ground meats and poultry to meet CACFP requirements, with a total estimated procurement value of $969,460.94 and evaluation weighted on unit price (weight 5), product quality (weight 4), and delivery/service (weight 3); bids were due June 24, 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections issued multiple ITBs for frozen poultry products—200,000 pounds of raw chicken strips (S2910000016886, due May 26, 2026), 120,000 pounds of ground poultry (S2910000016599, due April 24, 2026), and 80,000 pounds of cooked turkey multi-muscle (S29100-00017165, due June 22, 2026)—all FOB destination with five to ten percent Oregon-fabrication and resident-bidder preferences.
