UNSPSC 50111546 Turtle, minimally processed with additions is a Commodity code for prepared turtle products supplied to state and local institutional buyers. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show that governments purchase prepared food products — including proteins, dairy, grains, produce, and condiments — through food-service RFQ and IFB processes, typically bundled with broader food-supply categories rather than as standalone turtle procurement. The issuing bodies are state departments and school districts operating institutional feeding programs, particularly those serving school lunch and breakfast programs. Vendors must meet HACCP compliance, product documentation standards (including USDA compliance for grains and dairy), domestic-sourcing preferences where applicable, and transportation or delivery requirements to multiple sites. Contracts typically run 12 months with renewal or extension options and include price-escalation review mechanisms tied to USDA or CPI indices.

Recent activity centers on Georgia, where the State of Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and kitchen products RFQ (Solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) and Early County Board of Education issued a detailed line-by-line food bid for school lunch and breakfast programs (Solicitation PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026). The Early County solicitation explicitly covers 300+ food items across proteins, dairy, grains, produce, and condiments with 60+ non-food and sanitation supplies, requiring compliance with Buy American, E-Verify, $500,000 general liability insurance, and state milk-fat and bacteria-count documentation for fluid milk. The contract runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with extension and renewal options, and allows piggybacking by other school districts. The code shows limited activity; however, when it appears, it reflects institutional food-service contracting in school settings.
