UNSPSC 50131619: In shell table egg from rheas

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

UNSPSC 50131619 In shell table egg from rheas is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being procured by state and local governments under this classification. The Colorado Department of Corrections, the sole issuing body in the recent-opportunities block, is soliciting fresh eggs to supply correctional facility kitchens — standard chicken eggs meeting USDA Grade A specifications in brown or white varieties, delivered in loose-pack cases of 15 or 30 dozen. The code nominally refers to rhea eggs, a niche commodity that appears unrelated to the volume of solicitation activity documented here. All twenty-three recent opportunities from the Colorado Department of Corrections (April through October 2026) call for standard Grade A eggs in medium or large sizes, USDA inspected and stamped no more than 17 days prior to delivery, maintained at temperatures not exceeding 45 degrees Fahrenheit, and delivered F.O.B. Destination on an all-inclusive pricing basis. Each solicitation is structured as a Documented Quote with price as the primary evaluation criterion, sample quality and lead time as secondary factors, and no guaranteed minimum or maximum quantities specified.

Activity under UNSPSC 50131619 is concentrated exclusively in Colorado, where the Colorado Department of Corrections issues regular Documented Quote RFQs to supply five to six correctional facilities across the state — including Buena Vista Correctional Complex, Central Warehouse in Canon City, Denver Women's Correctional Facility, Sterling Correctional Facility, and others in Crowley, Limon, and surrounding jurisdictions. Initial order quantities range from 90 to 420 cases of 30-dozen eggs per solicitation, with delivery windows typically spanning one week and Notice of Intent to Award and Purchase Order execution on the same date as quote closure. Bidders must register with BidNet Direct and the Colorado Secretary of State, complete an Enhanced Criminal Background Investigation within 30 days of award, maintain Commercial General Liability insurance with minimum $1 million per occurrence, and comply with facility security provisions. A single solicitation from the State of Georgia (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) and one from Early County Board of Education in Georgia (PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026) address food, supplies, and kitchen products broadly but are not fresh-eggs-specific. The code shows minimal relevance to current state and local procurement intent; vendors evaluating this code should verify with issuing bodies whether their product or service actually falls under commodity 50131619 or belongs under a broader fresh-food or food-service category.
