UNSPSC 73131603: Poultry processing services

UNSPSC 73131603 Poultry processing services (Commodity tier) does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code based on recent solicitations. The opportunities tagged with this code span food and beverage service operations, catering, school nutrition programs, detention facility food services, and emergency meal provisioning—none of which involve poultry processing or meat processing of any kind. The mismatch between the nominal code scope and actual procurement activity suggests the code is either misapplied in state and local procurement systems or carries little active procurement volume in this jurisdiction set.

Representative recent opportunities posted under this code include the Collier County Board of County Commissioners ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (response date March 6, 2025), the City of Bartow ITB for emergency standby catering for the 2026-2027 hurricane season (due August 19, 2026), the Beaufort County RFP for detention center food services (due June 22, 2026), and the Dane County RFP for exclusive food and beverage operations at the Alliant Energy Center (due October 22, 2026). Issuing bodies include county governments, municipalities, and special-purpose districts. Geographic activity centers on Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Texas, Colorado, and Mississippi. Because the code designation does not align with the solicited work, pursue opportunities under this code only after verifying actual commodity scope in the full RFP or ITB documents.
