UNSPSC 50111730: Non gmo land snail, minimally processed with additions

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

UNSPSC 50111730 Non-GMO land snail, minimally processed with additions is a Commodity code that nominally describes a niche protein ingredient; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little activity aligned with land snail procurement. Instead, the opportunities reflect broad school nutrition and institutional food service solicitations for conventional proteins, produce, dairy, and grocery items serving public school districts, state health agencies, and other institutional feeding programs across the United States. The code appears to have been assigned to these food service opportunities in error or as a catch-all taxonomy placeholder, as none of the posted opportunities name or request snail products or snail-derived ingredients.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent activity concentrated in Georgia (Garland Independent School District, Cherokee County School District, Bulloch County School District, City Schools of Decatur, Henry County Schools, and DeKalb County School District) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), alongside state-level procurement by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for supplemental food and consumables. The recent opportunities span farm-to-school produce and local protein (Bulloch County School District RFP for locally raised and processed beef, pork, and poultry, due May 4, 2026; Garland Independent School District RFP for farm-to-school products, due July 23, 2026), frozen foods and grocery items (City Schools of Decatur IFB, due May 15, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District grocery and NOI bids, due April 29, 2026), processed USDA commodities (DeKalb County School District ITB for USDA product processing, due March 31, 2026), and statewide institutional food contracts (Texas HHSC IFB for supplemental food and consumables with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years, originally due February 23, 2026, subsequently reissued with a March 19, 2026 deadline). Given the code's nominal scope and the absence of any snail-related demand signals in the recent opportunities, this code presents minimal relevance for business development in state and local procurement at present.
