UNSPSC 10101602: Live ducks

UNSPSC 10101602 Live ducks (Commodity) covers the procurement of live waterfowl and game birds for state and local government purposes, specifically birds supplied to support public hunting seasons and wildlife management programs. State and local governments procure under this code for restocking initiatives and recreational hunting access, rather than for food production or institutional consumption. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include state fish and wildlife departments acting through their central procurement offices.

The State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Office of State Procurement Services, is the primary recent buyer, soliciting quotations under RFQ 09A 260708-005 (due July 22, 2026) for approximately 2,000 adult ring-necked pheasants to support the state's public hunting season. The Master Agreement resulting from this award will cover the initial period from August 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031 (renewable annually), with delivery required at two designated locations in Maine — the Wells Transportation Facility/Amtrak Station and the Cabela's parking lot in Scarborough — on specified dates beginning before September 26, 2026. Birds must meet specific health certifications (pullorum and typhoid negative, no West Nile Virus, tuberculosis, or other infectious disease evidence for six months prior), minimum weights (2.5 lbs for males, 2.0 lbs for females), and plumage standards (fully feathered with tail feathers averaging at least 8 inches). Pricing is FOB Destination on a per-bird unit basis with shipping included; the vendor bears responsibility for goods until state possession at delivery, and must replace any dead, injured, or missing birds at no additional cost prior to season release. The code shows limited recent activity across state and local jurisdictions; Maine represents the only clearly relevant opportunity in the current dataset.
