The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 112310 covers Chicken Egg Production, focusing on the commercial breeding, raising, and production of chicken eggs for human consumption and specialized research purposes. These eggs range from standard grade shell eggs for food service and institutional use to specialized Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) fertile eggs used in scientific and medical research. The products are primarily sourced from commercial egg farms and suppliers that can meet rigorous government specifications for quality, safety, and intended use.

Federal contract awards under this NAICS code demonstrate a diverse range of egg procurement activities, predominantly by agencies such as the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Department of Agriculture. Contract values typically range from $10,000 to $500,000, with durations spanning quarterly or annual periods. Frequently awarded entities include Avian Vaccine Services LLC, Lesher's Poultry Farm, Mitlitsky Eggs L.L.C., and J L S Research. Most awards are structured as firm fixed-price purchase orders, with approximately 50% designated as total small business set-asides. The primary places of performance include federal correctional institutions across the United States and research facilities in states like Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Iowa.

Recent federal contract opportunities continue to focus on egg procurement for institutional and research needs. Solicitations from the Bureau of Prisons seek weekly deliveries of fresh U.S. Grade A medium shell eggs to correctional facilities in locations such as Sheridan, Oregon; El Reno, Oklahoma; and Schuylkill, Pennsylvania. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has also posted a pre-solicitation notice for sole-source procurement of specific pathogen-free fertile eggs for influenza vaccine research. These opportunities typically require small business participation, demand strict delivery schedules, and evaluate vendors based on price and past performance, with contract quantities ranging from 15 to 250 cases of eggs per quarter.
