UNSPSC 50112109 Organic turkey, processed without additions is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code narrowly to procure processed turkey products for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations, typically as components of broader meal offerings rather than standalone commodity purchases. Recent solicitations show school districts and state health agencies acquiring pre-processed turkey in forms such as ground turkey, sliced deli breast, roasted turkey, and barbecue turkey as part of comprehensive food-service contracts that bundle proteins, produce, dairy, and prepared entrees. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—including Garland Independent School District (Texas), Cherokee County School District (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Henry County Schools (Georgia), and DeKalb County School District (Georgia)—alongside state-level institutional food procurement through the Texas Health and Human Services Commission serving state hospitals and supported living centers. School nutrition procurement dominates the code's activity, with districts sourcing turkey alongside chicken, beef, pork, and other proteins to meet National School Lunch Program requirements and farm-to-school initiatives.

The geographic footprint is concentrated in Georgia (Bulloch County, Cherokee County, Henry County, DeKalb County, and Douglas County), Texas (Garland and statewide via HHSC), and Missouri (Rockwood), with the heaviest recent activity in Georgia school districts. Representative recent opportunities include Garland Independent School District's farm-to-school RFP (27427, due July 23, 2026) seeking local produce and meats including processed proteins; Cherokee County School District's RFP CP-2026 (due June 11, 2026) for chicken processing services; Bulloch County School District's RFP for locally raised and processed protein including whole turkeys (due May 4, 2026, response date May 4, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables including frozen and processed turkey products across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (initial deadline February 23, 2026, reissued with due date March 19, 2026, maximum contract value $4,500,000 over three years); DeKalb County School District's ITB 26-729 for USDA product processing services including turkey products (due March 31, 2026); and Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items solicitation (due April 29, 2026) encompassing turkey and other proteins for the 2026-27 school year. Pricing in school nutrition contracts typically remains firm for the initial term with adjustments limited to manufacturer increases documented at 3 percent to 5 percent thresholds, and most school contracts run July 1 through June 30 with optional renewal periods of one to four years.
