UNSPSC 50131613: In shell table egg from ducks

Includes eggs in the shell that have been sorted to remove eggs of lower quality such as cracked and dirty eggs and are often sorted by size that have been laid by birds of the family Anatidae excluding the Tribe of Anserini. Eggs may be unwashed, washed, washed and oiled, aged, and/or pasteurized in the shell. Excludes eggs that have been cooked.

UNSPSC 50131613 In shell table egg from ducks, a Commodity code, covers fresh eggs procured by state and local jurisdictions to supply institutional food service operations. State and local governments buying under this code are purchasing U.S. Grade A eggs in bulk for correctional facility kitchens, school cafeterias, and other food service venues, with specifications typically calling for medium or large loose pack cases of 15 or 30 dozen, USDA inspection certification, dating no more than 17 days prior to delivery, and temperature-controlled transport at or below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. The Colorado Department of Corrections is the dominant and repeat buyer in the recent opportunity set, issuing rapid-cycle Documented Quote solicitations (RFQs) for fresh eggs on a weekly or bi-weekly basis across multiple correctional facilities. School districts in Georgia and Missouri also procure eggs under this code as part of broader food service contracts supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, though often bundled with produce and other food products in larger consolidated solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in Colorado, where the Department of Corrections has issued at least 20 fresh-egg RFQs since early April 2026, with response windows of three to seven days and award anticipated within one to two days of quote closing. A representative May 2026 solicitation by the Colorado Department of Corrections sought 90 to 240 cases of 30-dozen eggs (or equivalent 15-dozen packs) for delivery to three to six correctional facilities within a single week, with price as the primary evaluation factor, delivery as secondary, and all-inclusive F.O.B. Destination pricing required. In Georgia, the GEC Buying Cooperative (Douglas County School System) issued a two-area RFP in February 2026 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts through June 30, 2027, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million in Area One and $1.1 million in Area Two, evaluated on cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing pegged to Urner Barry Grade A large-egg quotations. Early County Schools in Georgia also solicited eggs as part of a line-item food bid (June 2026 due date), and Liberty County Schools issued an IFB for produce and eggs with delivery to 13 sites (April 2026 due date). Colorado jurisdictions require vendors to register with the Colorado Secretary of State, complete enhanced criminal background investigations within 30 days of award, maintain $1 million commercial general liability insurance, and submit all proposals through bidnetdirect.com; three consecutive non-deliveries result in disqualification from future CDOC solicitations for three years or indefinitely.
