UNSPSC 50112036 Turtle, processed without additions is a Commodity code covering processed turtle products for institutional food service. State and local governments source these items primarily through school nutrition programs and state food-service supply agreements. The Early County Board of Education solicitation references seafood in the scope of its National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program procurement, though turtle does not appear as a line item in the posted opportunities. State purchasers acquiring food products under this code typically source through county boards of education, state departments managing centralized food procurement, and individual school districts supplying multiple school locations.

Recent activity centers on Georgia, where the State of Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) and the Early County Board of Education released a line-by-line food bid for three schools (PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026). The Early County solicitation specifies domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with delivery Monday through Friday 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and compliance with HACCP plans, $500,000 general liability insurance, E-Verify requirements, Buy American provisions, and food recall procedures. Contract award runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with potential extension and renewal options; bid prices remain firm for 15 days from award and escalation or de-escalation requests are considered on a six-month basis supported by USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data. No current opportunities explicitly name turtle products as a procurement line item.
