UNSPSC 10102105: Ostrich hatching eggs

Fertilized ostrich eggs for grow-out

UNSPSC 10102105 Ostrich hatching eggs is a Commodity code covering avian procurement for state and local government operations, though recent solicitation activity shows the code is being applied to a broader range of live-bird purchasing than the nominal scope suggests. The issuing bodies pursuing opportunities tagged to this code include state agencies and airport authorities. The State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Office of State Procurement Services, acting on behalf of the Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife, is the most substantive recent buyer, establishing standing agreements for live birds to support public hunting seasons and wildlife management programs. A second opportunity from Newark Liberty International Airport addresses bird exclusion and dropping remediation services, which represents a functional mismatch with the hatching-eggs commodity code but reflects how procurement systems sometimes misclassify service contracts involving birds.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Northeast, with Maine executing a Master Agreement for approximately 2,000 adult ring-necked pheasants under RFQ 09A 260708-005, due July 22, 2026, for delivery beginning before September 26, 2026 at designated locations near Maine Turnpike Exit 19 and in Scarborough, with the contract running through June 30, 2031 with four one-year renewal options. Birds must meet specific health certifications, sex ratios, and weight thresholds, and vendors must provide FOB Destination pricing per unit with all shipping included and replacement of any dead, injured, or missing birds at no cost. The Newark Liberty International Airport solicitation (Bid #6000003475) covers bird exclusion and remediation services over a four-year term, with proposals due September 30, 2026, though this opportunity appears mistagged under the hatching-eggs commodity rather than a services code. The code shows limited recent state and local activity overall, with the Maine procurement representing the primary substantive opportunity.
