UNSPSC 50111633: Organic turtle, minimally processed without additions

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

UNSPSC 50111633 Organic turtle, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that nominally covers organic turtle products; however, the recent state and local solicitations under this code show no actual procurement activity aligned with organic turtle. The Georgia Department of Administrative Services, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Garland Independent School District, Cherokee County School District, and Early County Board of Education have all posted opportunities under this code in recent months, but their actual buy is mainstream institutional food service — beef trim and fat for correctional facilities, canteen and food-service groceries for state-supported living centers, farm-to-school produce and meats, school nutrition chicken processing, and National School Lunch Program supplies including proteins, dairy, vegetables, grains, bread, and milk. The code appears to be a catch-all or miscategorization in state and local procurement systems, as none of the recent opportunities solicit organic turtle or any turtle product.

The recent activity spans Georgia and Texas, with school districts and state health agencies as the primary buying bodies. Representative opportunities include the Georgia Department of Administrative Services IFB 92100ERFQ0020722027 for beef trim and beef fat due October 14, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017799 for food-service groceries to Mexia State Supported Living Center due August 25, 2026; Garland Independent School District RFP 274-27 for farm-to-school products due July 23, 2026; and Early County Board of Education's line-item food bid due June 8, 2026, covering 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies for school nutrition programs. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests that this code does not represent a viable procurement category for business development targeting state and local buyers.
