UNSPSC 73131606: Slaughter houses services

UNSPSC 73131606 Slaughter houses services (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its abstract code name and the state and local procurement opportunities currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities block contains sixteen solicitations, none of which involve animal slaughter, meat processing, or related livestock operations; instead, the postings span food service management, catering, concessions, nutritional programs, and facility operations across diverse venue types and customer bases.

The opportunities reflect a wide geographic spread across Florida (Brevard, Collier, Hillsborough, and Broward counties; multiple municipalities), Georgia (Chatham, Fulton), Wisconsin (Dane), Texas (Williamson, Harris, Bexar), South Carolina (Beaufort), Mississippi, Colorado (Boulder), and Missouri. Issuing bodies include counties, municipalities, charter schools, school districts, regional parks and recreation authorities, convention centers, performing arts venues, regional detention centers, and special-purpose districts. Representative recent work includes the Tampa Convention Center (Hillsborough County) seeking exclusive food and beverage operations serving over 350,000 guests annually via RFP (July 2026); Dane County procuring comprehensive food and beverage management for the Alliant Energy Center under RFP 2026-RFP-056-PR with proposals due October 22, 2026; Beaufort County requesting food service proposals for a 125-bed detention center via RFP #062226 (due June 22, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners soliciting food vendor proposals for North Collier Regional Park via ITN with a local-vendor preference (due March 6, 2025); the City of Bartow seeking emergency catering services for hurricane response via ITB 26-23 (due August 2026); and school nutrition management contracts across multiple states, including DuBois Integrity Academy (Georgia) and Parkway School District (Missouri) seeking Food Service Management Companies. The code's current tagging appears to be a cataloging error rather than a reflection of actual procurement intent under this slaughter services classification.
