UNSPSC 21101913: Debeaker

A device designed to cut off the beak of chicken or other fowl.

UNSPSC 21101913 Debeaker is a Commodity code for poultry-processing equipment that state and local governments procure when operating or contracting for animal-husbandry programs, educational agricultural facilities, or institutional food service operations that raise or process birds. The code describes a specialized mechanical device used to remove the beaks of poultry — a standard practice in large-scale poultry operations to reduce injury and feed waste. State and local buyers under this code include departments of agriculture, vocational and agricultural education programs, county extension services, and institutional farms operated by corrections departments or schools. The work is straightforward equipment procurement: identifying, specifying, and acquiring a debeaker that meets operational and safety requirements for the scale and breed of birds being processed.

The source provides no recent state or local contract opportunities under UNSPSC 21101913. Without posted RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, or IFBs to reference, the geographic distribution and frequency of debeaker procurement across jurisdictions cannot be characterized from recent activity. This code appears to support a narrow operational niche — animal-husbandry programs and institutional poultry processing are uncommon among state and local buyers — and procurement activity may be infrequent or conducted through cooperative purchasing vehicles and standing schedules that do not generate visible individual solicitations.
