UNSPSC 50111522 Turkey, minimally processed with additions is a Commodity code describing poultry products—specifically turkey in various forms—that state and local governments procure for food service operations. Recent solicitations show the code covering fresh or processed turkey for institutional meal programs, including school nutrition services, state facility dining, and congregate food service. The work encompasses sourcing, delivery, and compliance with institutional nutrition standards, USDA commodity processing requirements, and food safety protocols such as HACCP certification, food recall procedures, and biosecurity policies. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, county school districts, and school system consortia operating through cooperative purchasing vehicles; school districts appear as the dominant buyer category in current opportunities.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is seeking food and consumable products including turkey items for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 with a response deadline of July 13, 2026, and an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million. In Georgia, the DeKalb County School District issued ITB 26-729 for USDA Product Processing, which includes fully-cooked turkey products (roast, BBQ, sliced deli breast, ham) for school meals with a bid deadline of March 31, 2026; the Douglas County School System, operating through the GEC Buying Cooperative, issued RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 school districts across two geographic areas (estimated spend of $4.4 million for Area One, $1.1 million for Area Two) with a response deadline of March 4, 2026. Early County Schools in Georgia separately solicited line-by-line food bids including poultry and meat products due June 8, 2026, for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. No specific set-asides or preference programs are referenced in the recent solicitations; evaluation typically awards to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting specifications.
