UNSPSC 23221100: Killing and defeathering department machinery and equipment

UNSPSC 23221100 Killing and defeathering department machinery and equipment is a Class code under which state and local governments procure specialized processing equipment for poultry operations. The scope encompasses machinery and equipment used in slaughter and processing facilities, including defeathering systems, killing-line equipment, and supporting infrastructure. State and local educational institutions with agricultural missions and training programs in poultry science represent the primary buyer category under this code, drawing on grant funding and operational budgets to support hands-on instruction and commercial-scale processing demonstrations.

Fort Valley State University in Georgia posted an RFQ on October 13, 2026 for a 53-foot poultry processing trailer (Solicitation 53300ERFQ0020972027), with responses due October 30, 2026. The solicitation invites qualified suppliers experienced in trailer customization for poultry processing, with detailed specifications and drawings provided by the university. The procurement supports the university's agricultural training mission and processing capacity. Georgia represents the only recent documented state-local activity under this code; the narrow recent-opportunities pool and the specialized nature of the work suggest limited but steady demand from agricultural education programs and institutional food-service operations that operate licensed poultry processing facilities.
