UNSPSC 50111709: Non gmo 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, and harvested in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as Non GMO.

UNSPSC 50111709 Non-GMO Turkey, Minimally Processed Without Additions is a Commodity code tracking a narrowly specialized protein product within school nutrition procurement, where the recent solicitation record shows minimal direct demand for turkey specifically but substantial indirect opportunity through broader meat and protein procurement vehicles that frequently include poultry. State and local governments purchasing under this code are predominantly school districts and regional school cooperatives sourcing proteins for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations, with secondary buyers including state health and human services agencies operating institutional feeding programs. The work being solicited spans direct meat procurement (fresh, frozen, or processed poultry in bulk cases), USDA commodity processing services (converting commodity turkey into ready-to-serve entrees), and farm-to-school local protein sourcing programs emphasizing domestic production, food safety certifications, and vendor relationships supporting whole-meal compliance with USDA nutrition standards.

The geographic spread centers on Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri. Recent representative opportunities include the Garland Independent School District's farm-to-school RFP (posted June 11, 2026, due July 23, 2026) encompassing local meats including poultry; the Bulloch County School District's RFP for locally raised and processed protein including whole turkeys for the 2026-2027 fiscal year (posted April 3, 2026, due May 4, 2026), requiring products raised and processed within a 200-mile radius with monthly deliveries July through March; the Cherokee County School District's chicken processing services RFP (posted May 28, 2026, due June 11, 2026); DeKalb County School District's USDA product processing ITB including turkey products such as roast, barbecue, and sliced deli breast (posted February 26, 2026, due March 31, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food procurement covering institutional feeding across state hospitals and supported living centers (posted February 26, 2026, originally due February 23, extended to February 23, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years). Turkey appears most frequently as one component within broader protein or grocery portfolios rather than as a standalone line item, and vendors pursuing this code should position poultry products within district-wide food supply contracts emphasizing farm-to-school alignment, local sourcing, and USDA commodity processing where applicable.
