UNSPSC 50131617: In shell table egg from ostriches

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 species Struthio camelus. Eggs may be unwashed, washed, washed and oiled, aged, and/or pasteurized in the shell. Excludes eggs that have been cooked.

UNSPSC 50131617 In shell table egg from ostriches is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no relevant purchasing. The Colorado Department of Corrections dominates the recent-opportunities block with more than twenty documented quotes for fresh eggs posted between mid-February and mid-July 2026, and a secondary cluster of school district solicitations (Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Early County, Henry County, and GEC Buying Cooperative) for fresh produce and eggs products. All of these opportunities specify Grade A fresh chicken eggs in standard commercial loose-pack cases (15 or 30 dozen per case), USDA-inspected and delivered at regulated temperatures to institutional kitchens. None of the posted solicitations reference ostrich eggs or any poultry species other than chicken. The code description and the actual purchasing activity diverge completely—state and local procurement offices are buying commodity chicken eggs for correctional facilities and school nutrition programs, not ostrich eggs.

The Colorado Department of Corrections issues standing documented quotes for fresh eggs on a recurring weekly or biweekly cycle, with response deadlines typically 3–5 business days after posting and delivery windows in the same or following week to three to six correctional facilities across the state (Sterling, Canon City, Crowley, Limon, Buena Vista, and Denver). Award is made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on price, with firm all-inclusive FOB Destination pricing and a standard non-performance disqualification clause (three missed deliveries = three-year or indefinite debarment). School districts in Georgia (Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County, Early County, Henry County, and the GEC Buying Cooperative multi-district consortium) solicit fresh eggs as line items within broader food procurement RFPs and IFBs, with annual contract terms (July–June) and bid opening dates in late March through early June. The code sees no activity in the recent-opportunities block that matches its stated scope of ostrich egg products.
