UNSPSC 50111630: Organic land snail, minimally processed with 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 50111630 Organic land snail, minimally processed with additions is a Commodity code that, in practice, shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract scope—specialized shellfish products—does not align with the actual solicitations tagged under it, which focus instead on school nutrition food service procurement (meats, produce, dairy, and general grocery items for child nutrition programs) and state institutional food service (supplemental foods for hospitals and supported living centers). No recent opportunity explicitly solicits for land snails or comparable specialty seafood products.

State and local buyers issuing food service RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs—primarily independent school districts and state health and human services agencies across Georgia, Texas, and Missouri—are actively procuring mainstream commodity proteins (beef, poultry, pork), fresh produce, eggs, dairy, and processed grocery items for school nutrition services and institutional feeding. Recent examples include Garland Independent School District (RFP for farm-to-school products, due July 23, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide, amended due date March 19, 2026), DeKalb County School District (ITB for USDA product processing, due March 31, 2026), and Douglas County School System (RFP for food supply and distribution, due February 18, 2026). The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact rather than an active procurement category for snail products in the state and local space.
