UNSPSC 10102103: Goose hatching eggs

Fertilized goose eggs for grow-out

UNSPSC 10102103 Goose hatching eggs is a Commodity code covering the procurement of avian breeding stock and live birds for state and local government operations. Recent solicitations reveal that state and local bodies purchase live birds primarily to support wildlife management and ecosystem initiatives rather than commercial poultry production. The State of Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife, acting through the Department of Administrative and Financial Services, recently issued an RFQ for approximately 2,000 adult ring-necked pheasants to support public hunting seasons, with strict veterinary health certifications, weight and plumage specifications, and scheduled multi-location deliveries. While the code's nominal scope references hatching eggs, actual procurement activity centers on mature, delivery-ready breeding and release stock. Issuing bodies include state wildlife and natural resource departments positioned as the primary buyers under this code.

Maine represents the geographic center of recent activity under this code. The State of Maine's Master Agreement RFQ (RFQ09A26070800000000000005) closed July 22, 2026, and established a renewable cooperative purchasing vehicle running through June 30, 2031, with initial delivery required before September 26, 2026, and subsequent stockings on first and third Sundays throughout the hunting season. Vendors must comply with FOB Destination pricing on a per-bird basis, maintain firm pricing for 180 days, provide veterinary health certification for pullorum, typhoid, West Nile Virus, and tuberculosis, and replace any dead or injured birds at no cost. The contract permits all state agencies to call-off birds as needed under the Master Agreement structure, signaling potential secondary demand beyond the initial 2,000-bird commitment.
