UNSPSC 50111521 Turkey, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that captures poultry procurement by state and local governments, though recent solicitation activity shows the code is applied inconsistently across the broader food and meal-service supply chain. State and local issuing bodies purchasing under this code include health and human services agencies (particularly state-operated residential facilities), school districts, and state procurement offices. The actual work being solicited spans fresh or frozen whole birds and processed poultry items supplied to institutional food-service operations, institutional kitchens, and school meal programs. Procurement is typically handled through IFB or line-item competitive bid processes with firm, fixed unit pricing and delivery-based performance requirements.

Recent activity includes the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center under a contract term running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with historical annual spend of $1.5 million; the Early County Board of Education's line-item food bid (posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300 food items including meats and poultry to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools for the July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract period; and the State of Georgia's broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation (posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026). Geographic activity centers on Texas and Georgia; one additional opportunity identified but lacking substantive scope detail. School districts and state health agencies dominate recent purchasing, with award decisions based on responsiveness, responsibility, past vendor performance, and value rather than price alone.
