UNSPSC 50131621: In shell table egg from turkeys

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

UNSPSC 50131621 In shell table egg from turkeys (Commodity) covers fresh eggs delivered to institutional foodservice operations, with recent state and local activity dominated by the Colorado Department of Corrections' recurring procurement of USDA Grade A eggs in brown or white varieties for correctional facility kitchens. The CDOC issues Documented Quotes (DQs) on a rolling, frequent basis—sometimes multiple times per week across different facility combinations—requesting U.S. Grade A eggs in loose pack cases of 15 or 30 dozen, stamped and dated no more than 17 days prior to delivery, held at or below 45 degrees Fahrenheit, and delivered on an F.O.B. Destination basis with all costs incorporated into bid pricing. Order volumes range from 90 to 420 cases of 30-dozen eggs per solicitation, distributed across facilities including Buena Vista, Sterling, Denver Women's, Central Warehouse (Canon City), Arkansas Valley, and Limon Correctional Facilities. Price is the consistent primary evaluation criterion, with sample quality and delivery lead time as secondary factors; the CDOC reserves the right to award to multiple bidders and to request annual price increases not exceeding 2.5% per fiscal year by mutual agreement. All pricing must be firm for the purchase order term with no substitutions of awarded brand permitted; failure to deliver on three separate occasions results in disqualification from future solicitations for three years or indefinitely.

The Colorado Department of Corrections is the sole recent active buyer under this code and accounts for the entirety of the recent-opportunities block, with activity spanning from late April 2026 through mid-October 2026. A single Georgia procurement (PE55645NONST2026000000009) for food, supplies, and other kitchen products appeared in May 2026 with a June 22, 2026 response date, and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an RFQ for school lunch program food vendors in May 2026 (due June 8, 2026), but neither entry confirms fresh eggs as a discrete line item. The CDOC solicitations are concentrated in Colorado, spanning Garfield County (where several correctional facilities are located) and statewide facility networks. Bidders must register with Bidnet Direct and the Colorado Secretary of State Vendor Self Service system, complete enhanced criminal background investigations within 30 days of award, maintain commercial general liability insurance with $1 million minimum per-occurrence limits, and comply with CDOC facility security provisions including consent-to-search authorizations and restrictions on cell phones, weapons, and contraband. Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses may submit certification documentation where applicable. The market shows very high frequency and low order volumes, suggesting a fragmented vendor base supplying frequent small replenishments rather than annual or multi-year contracts.
