UNSPSC 50111629: Organic land snail, minimally processed without additions

Products from animals of the species Helix aspersa, these products have been grown, handled, and transported in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as organic.

UNSPSC 50111629 Organic land snail, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that does not reflect state and local government procurement activity in the recent opportunities dataset. The code nominally names a single food product — land snail — yet recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code involve comprehensive school nutrition procurement spanning frozen foods, fresh produce, meats, poultry, eggs, dairy, grains, and consumable supplies for child nutrition services. The mismatch between the code's narrow product scope and the breadth of actual food service solicitations suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code functions as a catch-all for specialized food procurement. Issuing bodies purchasing under this code are school districts, state health and human services commissions, and regional school cooperatives; no single repeat buyer dominates the dataset, and no specialized suppliers of land snail or other exotic proteins appear in the opportunities listed.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Georgia (Garland, Cherokee County, Decatur, Bulloch County, Henry County, DeKalb County, and Douglas County school districts), Texas (HHSC and DSHS statewide facilities), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Representative opportunities include Garland Independent School District's RFP 274-27 for farm-to-school products due July 23, 2026; Cherokee County School District's RFP CP-2026 for chicken processing services due June 11, 2026; Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables (maximum value $4,500,000 over three years) due March 19, 2026; Bulloch County School District's RFP for locally raised and processed protein due May 4, 2026; and Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery and Net Off Invoice solicitations due April 29, 2026. None of these opportunities specifically target land snail procurement, and the absence of specialist suppliers suggests this code receives minimal legitimate state and local purchasing volume.
