UNSPSC 10102104: Pheasant hatching eggs

Fertilized pheasant eggs for grow-out

UNSPSC 10102104 Pheasant hatching eggs is a Commodity code that frames state and local procurement of live adult pheasants and pheasant-related products, though recent activity shows substantial divergence from the hatching-egg scope. State and local governments buy live adult ring-necked pheasants for public hunting-season programs and wildlife-management initiatives, sourced through master agreements and standing quotations that allow multiple agencies to draw birds as needed throughout a contract term. The Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife in Maine exemplifies the primary buyer profile — state fish-and-wildlife departments that stock public lands and managed hunting areas with live birds to support seasonal hunting opportunity and wildlife population management. Issuing bodies under this code include state wildlife and fisheries agencies; airport authorities may appear under the code when tagged for animal-control or bird-exclusion work, though such activity falls outside the core pheasant-procurement scope.

The State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Office of State Procurement Services, issued RFQ 09A26070800000000000005 in July 2026 for approximately 2,000 adult ring-necked pheasants with a response date of July 22, 2026, establishing a master agreement running from August 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031 (renewable for four additional one-year periods) allowing all state agencies to purchase birds as needed. Specifications required fully feathered birds with tail feathers averaging at least 8 inches, a minimum 50% male sex ratio, weights of at least 2.5 lbs for males and 2.0 lbs for females, and veterinary certification of freedom from pullorum, typhoid, West Nile Virus, tuberculosis, and other infectious diseases for six months prior to delivery, with delivery FOB Destination at two Maine locations on specified dates. Recent activity is concentrated in New England, with Maine showing clear procurement momentum. A second opportunity posted by Newark Liberty International Airport (Bid 6000003475, response date September 30, 2026) for bird exclusion and dropping remediation services does not align with pheasant procurement and reflects mislabeling at the code level.
