UNSPSC 23221102: Chicken defeathering machine

A machine that takes out the feathers of chickens prior to processing for meat.

UNSPSC 23221102 Chicken defeathering machine is a Commodity code that encompasses poultry processing equipment and specialized machinery used in meat preparation operations. State and local procurement under this code targets educational institutions and specialized agricultural facilities acquiring equipment for poultry processing and preparation. Fort Valley State University in Georgia recently solicited equipment under this category, though the specific opportunity focuses on a customized 53-foot poultry processing trailer rather than a standalone defeathering machine, indicating that state and local buyers use the code more broadly to classify integrated poultry processing capability than the discrete machinery the code name suggests.

Fort Valley State University posted RFQ 53300ERFQ0020972027 on October 13, 2026, requesting a customized 53-foot poultry processing trailer with responses due October 30, 2026. The university sought suppliers experienced in trailer customization for poultry processing and provided detailed specifications and drawings in the solicitation documents. No estimated contract value, term length, or place of performance details were disclosed in available materials. The procurement follows standard state and local practices with public announcement of preliminary results including all participating suppliers and evaluation outcomes, subject to protest before final award. The code shows limited recent activity in state and local procurement channels, with this Georgia opportunity representing the available window into current buying patterns.
