UNSPSC 50112110: Organic turkey, processed with additions

Products from animals of the species Meleagris gallopavo, these products have been grown, handled, and transported in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as organic.

UNSPSC 50112110 Organic turkey, processed with additions is a Commodity code that describes fully-cooked, processed turkey products—including roasted turkey, sliced deli breast, and specialty preparations like BBQ turkey—supplied to school nutrition programs, state health facilities, and institutional food services. State and local governments buy these products as components of prepared school meals, institutional nutrition services at state hospitals and supported living centers, and farm-to-school initiatives emphasizing local and organic protein sourcing. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with procurement spanning independent school districts (Garland ISD, Cherokee County Schools, Early County Board of Education, Bulloch County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Henry County Schools, DeKalb County Schools, Douglas County Schools) and state-level agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). Recent activity shows school districts pursuing both general poultry processing services and specialized local protein procurement emphasizing domestic sourcing within defined geographic radii. The code shows strong purchasing focus on processed turkey as a USDA commodity alternative and as a locally raised protein within farm-to-school programs committed to supporting regional producers.

Georgia school districts represent the bulk of recent solicitation activity, with the state appearing across ten posted opportunities including Bulloch County, DeKalb County, Douglas County, City Schools of Decatur, and Henry County Schools. Texas state health facilities and Texas school systems generated additional volume through state-level HHSC procurement (HHS0016792 and HHS0016792V2) and regional school district activity. Missouri school districts (Rockwood R-VI) and Georgia municipal school systems (Garland ISD) round out the geographic spread. Representative current opportunities include DeKalb County School District's ITB 26-729 for USDA Product Processing (due March 31, 2026) seeking fully-cooked turkey products including roast, BBQ, and sliced deli breast in specified pack sizes; Bulloch County School District's RFP for Local Protein (due May 4, 2026) soliciting fresh, locally raised and processed whole turkeys and poultry products from vendors within a 200-mile radius; and Texas HHSC's statewide IFB HHS0016792V2 for Supplemental Food & Consumables (due March 19, 2026) encompassing turkey as one product category among 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers across 23 facilities. Evaluation typically emphasizes price (30–50 points), product quality and compliance with nutrition and allergen specifications (20–40 points), and service capabilities including delivery logistics and food safety documentation (HACCP plans, recall procedures, biosecurity policies). Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options; all require firm fixed pricing, domestic sourcing preferences where specified, and proof of liability insurance with minimum limits of $1 million per occurrence.
