UNSPSC 10102102: Turkey hatching eggs

Fertilized turkey eggs for grow-out

UNSPSC 10102102 Turkey hatching eggs is a Commodity code that encompasses live poultry procurement for state and local government breeding and restocking programs. While the code nominally addresses turkey hatching eggs, recent state and local activity shows that issuing bodies use this code to solicit live game birds and poultry for wildlife management and public hunting seasons. The State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, acting on behalf of the Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife, represents the primary recent buyer under this code taxonomy, soliciting adult ring-necked pheasants rather than turkey eggs. Issuing bodies under this code include state natural-resource and wildlife departments that manage public hunting and habitat restoration.

Maine shows the most recent activity under this code, with an RFQ posted July 8, 2026, requesting approximately 2,000 adult ring-necked pheasants for the 2026–2027 public hunting season (response due July 22, 2026). The Master Agreement award permits all Maine state agencies to purchase specified birds as needed through June 30, 2031, with initial term August 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Birds must meet strict health and weight standards — fully feathered with tail feathers averaging at least 8 inches, minimum 50% male ratio, weights at least 2.5 lbs for males and 2.0 lbs for females — and originate from flocks certified disease-free (pullorum, typhoid, West Nile Virus, tuberculosis) for six months prior to delivery. First delivery of at least 700 birds must occur before September 26, with subsequent stockings the first and third Sundays of October at the Wells Transportation Facility near Maine Turnpike Exit 19 and the Cabela's parking lot in Scarborough. Bids are priced FOB Destination per bird with shipping included; vendors bear responsibility for goods until State takeover at delivery. Bid prices must remain firm for 180 days from opening and guaranteed for at least the first contract year, with any adjustments requiring 60 days' notice and supporting documentation. Dead, injured, or missing birds must be replaced by the vendor at no cost.
