UNSPSC 50131618 In shell table egg from quails is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh table eggs, predominantly conventional chicken eggs in loose-pack cases for institutional food service. The Colorado Department of Corrections dominates recent activity, issuing weekly or biweekly Documented Quotes (DQs) for fresh eggs to supply correctional facility kitchens across multiple locations. Eggs must meet USDA Grade A standards, arrive in 15 or 30 dozen cases at temperatures not exceeding 45 degrees Fahrenheit, and carry stamps dated no more than 17 days prior to delivery. All pricing is all-inclusive, F.O.B. Destination with no additional shipping charges, surcharges, or taxes. The CDOC awards on price as the primary factor, with sample quality and lead time as secondary considerations. Awarded vendors face strict requirements: no brand substitutions are permitted, failure to deliver on three separate occasions results in disqualification for up to three years or indefinitely, and all contractor personnel must complete enhanced criminal background investigations, fingerprinting, and drug testing within 30 days of award. Awards may go to multiple bidders when in the state's interest.

Recent activity is concentrated in Colorado, with the Colorado Department of Corrections posting at least 25 documented quote solicitations between late April 2026 and mid-October 2026. Order quantities range from 90 to 420 cases of 30-dozen eggs per delivery cycle, distributed across facilities including Buena Vista Correctional Complex, Central Warehouse (Canon City), Denver Women's Correctional Facility, Sterling Correctional Facility, Arkansas Valley Correctional Facility, and Limon Correctional Facility. Solicitation DQ1CAAA20270001241, posted October 9, 2026, with quotes due October 15, 2026, requests 180 cases for delivery October 19–23, 2026 to three facilities; DQ1CAAA20270001141, posted September 25, 2026, with quotes due October 1, 2026, seeks 420 cases to five facilities for delivery October 5–9, 2026.
