UNSPSC 50112209: Non gmo turkey, processed without additions

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

UNSPSC 50112209 Non gmo turkey, processed without additions is a Commodity code that sees limited direct solicitation activity; state and local governments procure non-GMO processed turkey primarily as a line item within broader school nutrition food service contracts rather than as a standalone commodity. Recent opportunities reveal turkey appears as one protein option among many in food procurement RFPs issued by school districts and state agencies. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Garland Independent School District, Cherokee County School District, Bulloch County School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Henry County Schools, DeKalb County School District, Douglas County School System) and a state health agency (Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring for state hospitals and state supported living centers). School districts account for the overwhelming majority of activity, with turkey specifications appearing within larger child nutrition services food supply contracts that encompass proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and supplies. Evaluation criteria across these opportunities weight price heavily (typically 30–50 points), quality and product specifications (20–30 points), and vendor capability and service (20–30 points).

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792 (and an amended version, HHS0016792V2) for supplemental food and consumables covering 210 line items including turkey products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a response deadline of March 19, 2026, and a maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years.
