UNSPSC 50131618: In shell table egg from quails

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 of Phasianidae excluding the subfamily Phasianinae (pheasants). Eggs may be unwashed, washed, washed and oiled, aged, and/or pasteurized in the shell. Excludes eggs that have been cooked.

UNSPSC 50131618 In shell table egg from quails, a Commodity code, covers fresh eggs procured by state and local governments for institutional food service—primarily correctional facilities, school districts, and other public agencies operating dining operations. State and local buyers under this code source grade-specified eggs in bulk case quantities, typically U.S. Grade A loose-pack configurations in 15- or 30-dozen cases, with strict delivery temperature, freshness-dating, and logistics requirements. The Colorado Department of Corrections dominates recent activity, issuing multiple rounds of documented quotes for weekly fresh-egg deliveries to three to six correctional facility locations, with quantities ranging from 90 to 360 cases per solicitation. School districts and nutrition cooperatives appear with less frequency but represent meaningful volume; Georgia school districts, including the GEC Buying Cooperative (serving 30 districts across two geographic areas), and individual districts such as Early County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Henry County Schools, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri all solicit fresh eggs as part of broader food-service procurement for their National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs.

Colorado dominates the geographic footprint, with the Colorado Department of Corrections issuing documented-quote RFQs on a weekly to bi-weekly cycle throughout 2026 targeting delivery weeks from late March through mid-July. Georgia follows with school-district RFPs and IFBs posted in February through May 2026, and Missouri appears with a single school-district grocery bid. Recent Colorado CDOC solicitations—such as DQ1CAAA20270000061 (Fresh Eggs, due July 16, 2026, for delivery week of July 20–24 to three facilities), DQ1CAAA20270000022 (Fresh Eggs, due July 9, 2026, for delivery week of July 13–17), and earlier cycles dating back to April 2026—establish a pattern of rapid-cycle, price-driven procurement with firm pricing, all-inclusive FOB Destination delivery, and secondary evaluation of sample quality and lead time. Georgia's GEC Buying Cooperative RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) and the Douglas County School System RFP (PE64810NONST2026000000047) solicit fresh produce and eggs on cost-plus-fixed-fee terms across two geographic areas with estimated annual produce spending around $5.5 million, while school districts such as Early County Schools (PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026) and Liberty County Schools (PE68910NONST2026000000050, due April 29, 2026) issue sealed-bid IFBs for annual food-service contracts spanning July through June fiscal years. All procurement emphasizes domestic sourcing, USDA Grade A standards, enhanced criminal-background compliance for CDOC vendors, insurance minimums of $1 million general liability, and firm or cost-indexed pricing for multi-month to annual contract terms.
