UNSPSC 50131622 In shell table egg from specialty birds is a Commodity code. State and local governments are buying shell eggs—overwhelmingly standard Grade A eggs in bulk cases—to supply institutional kitchens at correctional facilities, school districts, and other public agencies. The Colorado Department of Corrections dominates the recent activity, issuing dozens of Documented Quote solicitations for fresh eggs in rapid succession throughout the first seven months of 2026, with each quote specifying USDA Grade A brown or white eggs in medium or large loose pack, 15 or 30-dozen case configurations, stamped and dated no more than 17 days prior to delivery, and maintained at 45 degrees Fahrenheit or below. School districts and buying cooperatives also appear in the recent record—the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts, Henry County Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), and Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia) all posted competitive solicitations for eggs as part of broader food-service procurement packages covering produce and grocery items. The issuing bodies are state departments of corrections, county school boards, and school nutrition cooperatives spanning Colorado, Georgia, and Missouri.

The geographic spread of recent activity clusters heavily in Colorado, where the CDOC has posted fresh-egg quotes almost weekly since late April 2026, with secondary activity in Georgia (school districts and the GEC cooperative) and Missouri. The representative recent opportunities are numerous: the Colorado Department of Corrections issued RFQs for fresh eggs with delivery windows in the week of July 20–24, 2026 (solicitation DQ1CAAA20270000061, due July 16, 2026), July 13–17, 2026 (DQ1CAAA20270000022, due July 9, 2026), and June 22–26, 2026 (DQ1CAAA20260005191, due June 18, 2026), each calling for 180–360 cases across three to five correctional facilities; the GEC Buying Cooperative issued an RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 Georgia school districts across two geographic areas with an estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million; and the Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited grocery items including eggs under Net Off Invoice pricing (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYNOI20262027, due April 29, 2026). Price is the primary award criterion in all cases, with secondary consideration of sample quality and delivery lead time. All CDOC quotations are tight-cycle documented quotes with three to seven-day response windows, FOB Destination with freight prepaid, all-inclusive pricing, and firm pricing requirements during the purchase order term.
