UNSPSC 50111609: Organic turkey, minimally processed without additions

Products from animals of the species Meleagris gallopavo, including those that are sliced or diced, these products have been grown, handled, and transported in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as organic.

UNSPSC 50111609 Organic turkey, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of prepared and minimally processed protein products for institutional food service, though the recent opportunities posted under this code show limited direct alignment with organic turkey specifically. State and local governments soliciting under this code span state correctional and healthcare agencies, school districts, and state-supported living centers, all of which operate food service operations for captive populations. The scope of work in practice encompasses fresh and frozen proteins, including beef trim and fat, chicken processing services, and broader food service groceries spanning meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, and prepared entrees. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health and human services, independent school districts, and county school boards, with Texas and Georgia appearing most active in recent postings.

Representative recent opportunities reflect this institutional focus: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited FY27 food service groceries and canteen groceries for Mexia State Supported Living Center under IFBs HHS0017799 and HHS0017798, due August 25, 2026, spanning proteins and prepared entrees alongside produce and dairy; the Georgia Department of Administrative Services solicited beef trim and beef fat for Georgia Correctional Industries under RFQ 92100ERFQ0020722027, due October 14, 2026, with delivery included in all-inclusive pricing; Garland Independent School District requested farm-to-school products including local meats under RFP 274-27, due July 23, 2026; Cherokee County School District solicited chicken processing services under RFP CP-2026, due June 11, 2026; and Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line food bids including meats, poultry, and seafood for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, due June 8, 2026. The HHSC statewide food procurement for state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0016792V2) included 210 line items of proteins and prepared foods with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years and a March 19, 2026 bid deadline. Activity clusters in Texas and Georgia, with school nutrition programs and state institutional food service as primary end-use markets.
