UNSPSC 50131609: Prepared eggs

Includes any product that has been prepared to a specific recipe where eggs are the main ingredient in combination with other ingredients such as protein, vegetables or sauce. These ingredients form a valuable part of the product, rather than just serve as a seasoning or flavouring. Omelettes and souffles would be examples of prepared egg products.

UNSPSC 50131609 Prepared eggs, a Commodity code, covers eggs in prepared or processed forms that state and local governments—particularly school districts—procure as part of school meal programs and institutional food service. The code sees activity primarily through school nutrition procurement, where prepared eggs appear as line items within broader food-service solicitations that also include fresh produce, frozen items, dairy, and staple proteins. The issuing bodies are school districts and school boards across the Southeast, supplemented by city education departments and cooperative purchasing consortia like the GEC Buying Cooperative that aggregate demand across multiple districts. The scope includes Grade A large eggs and related egg products meeting USDA National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program standards, with deliveries to multiple school sites, temperature controls (typically 33°F to 40F), stock rotation by sell-by date with minimum shelf-life guarantees (10–14 days from delivery), and compliance with Buy American provisions and federal food-safety documentation requirements including HACCP plans and food recall procedures.

Recent solicitations center in Georgia, where the Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative in February 2026 seeking fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts (due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two), the City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items in April 2026 (due May 15, 2026), and the Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line food bids in May 2026 (due June 8, 2026). Beyond Georgia, the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued a commodities bid in June 2026 (due June 26, 2026) covering 115 line items including eggs for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 of the following year with options to extend or renew, firm pricing for 30–45 days post-award with subsequent quarterly or six-month adjustments capped at 3–10% before school districts can source elsewhere, and payment terms of Net 30 to Net 45 days from delivery and inspection. No specific set-aside designations appear in the recent opportunities, though some solicit minority and women's business participation consistent with federal standards.
