UNSPSC 10102105: Ostrich hatching eggs

Fertilized ostrich eggs for grow-out

UNSPSC 10102105 Ostrich hatching eggs (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The single relevant recent solicitation represents a fundamentally different animal product category — live birds for hunting season support rather than hatching eggs for breeding or production purposes. The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife, acting through the State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Office of State Procurement Services, issued RFQ 09A 260708-005 on July 8, 2026 for approximately 2,000 adult ring-necked pheasants, due July 22, 2026. This procurement specifies fully feathered birds with minimum weight and sex-ratio requirements, veterinary disease certification, and FOB-destination delivery to two locations in Maine before the public hunting season. The resulting award is a Master Agreement effective August 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031 with renewal options, permitting all state agencies to purchase birds as needed.

The code shows no recent activity from county purchasing departments, cities, school districts, transit authorities, or special-purpose districts. Geographic concentration cannot be characterized from the available record, as only one actionable Maine solicitation is present. The Williamson County, Texas relocation notice (posted July 14, 2026) contains no procurement scope and does not constitute an opportunity. Vendors pursuing live-game-bird supply to state fish and wildlife departments should note that Maine's procurement emphasizes strict health certification, scheduled delivery to fixed locations, and firm pricing with advance notice of adjustments, but the code itself does not reflect the actual buying pattern or animal category represented in current opportunities.
