UNSPSC 50131600: Eggs and egg substitutes

UNSPSC 50131600 Eggs and egg substitutes is a Class code covering fresh and processed egg products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, primarily correctional facilities, school districts, and sheriff departments. The work being solicited ranges from fresh USDA Grade A eggs in loose-pack cases to frozen and chilled egg mixes, kosher hard-boiled eggs, and egg-related products, all delivered on firm fixed-price, all-inclusive bases with temperature control requirements and no brand substitutions permitted after award.

The Colorado Department of Corrections dominates recent activity under this code, issuing approximately twenty documented quotes for fresh eggs between mid-April and mid-October 2026, each specifying delivery to rotating combinations of four to six correctional facilities across the state and ranging from 90 to 420 cases per order. The County of Orange, California Sheriff-Coroner is also active, soliciting frozen and chilled egg mix, hard-boiled eggs, and egg-related products in a three-year competitive bid with a firm fixed-price structure and an estimated six-month demand of approximately 3,015 cases of liquid egg mix. The Early County Board of Education in Georgia issued a line-by-line food bid in May 2026 that included eggs as part of a broader school lunch and breakfast program procurement; the Conejo Valley Unified School District in California issued a broadline products RFP in April 2026 that encompasses egg products among approximately 399 line items. Geographic spread is concentrated in Colorado (the CDOC solicitations), California (Orange County Sheriff and Conejo Valley USD), and Georgia (Early County Schools), with CDOC's recurring weekly or bi-weekly documented quotes representing the most frequent buyer activity. Recent representative opportunities include the Colorado Department of Corrections' fresh eggs RFQ posted October 9, 2026 (solicitation DQ1CAAA20270001241, response due October 15, 2026) for 180 cases of 30-dozen eggs to three facilities with price as the primary award factor; the County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner's competitive bid for frozen and chilled egg mix (solicitation 0603138901MB, response due October 22, 2026) with a three-year initial term and estimated usage data showing approximately 3,015 cases of liquid egg mix over six months; and the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (solicitation PE55045NONST2027000000006, response due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items including eggs for the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs.
