UNSPSC 50111733: Non gmo turtle, minimally processed without additions

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

UNSPSC 50111733 Non-GMO turtle, minimally processed without additions is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—minimally processed non-GMO turtle meat—appears disconnected from the food procurement opportunities in the source data, which document substantial school nutrition and institutional food service acquisitions focused on conventional proteins (poultry, beef, pork), produce, dairy, and processed grocery items rather than specialty or exotic proteins.

The recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies—Georgia school districts (Garland ISD, Cherokee County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Henry County Schools, DeKalb County Schools, Douglas County Schools), Missouri school districts (Rockwood R-VI), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), and early indication from Early County Board of Education in Georgia—but none reference turtle or similar specialty proteins. The procurement activity centers on school nutrition programs and state institutional feeding for hospitals and supported living centers, with standard product categories including chicken, ground beef, pork sausage, fresh produce, eggs, frozen foods, and grocery line items. Representative solicitations include the Texas HHSC Invitation for Bids for supplemental food and consumables (210 line items, 23 qualified ordering entities statewide, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years, deadline March 19, 2026), the Bulloch County School District Invitation for Proposal for locally raised and processed protein beef, pork, and poultry (July 2026 through June 2027 contract, proposals due May 4, 2026), and the DeKalb County School District Invitation to Bid for USDA product processing of fully-cooked meat and poultry items (deadline March 31, 2026, contract beginning July 1, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity and does not merit pursuit under this UNSPSC taxonomy classification.
