UNSPSC 50131622 In shell table egg from specialty birds is a Commodity code that captures institutional procurement of fresh table eggs for correctional facilities, school districts, and other food-service operations. State and local governments buying under this code are sourcing USDA Grade A fresh eggs in standard brown or white varieties, typically in loose-pack cases of 15 or 30 dozen, for weekly or periodic delivery to kitchen operations. The Colorado Department of Corrections dominates the recent solicitation activity under this code, posting a steady cadence of documented quotes (RFQs) for fresh eggs to supply between three and six correctional facilities per award cycle, with orders ranging from 90 to 420 cases of 30-dozen eggs per delivery period. Early County Board of Education in Georgia and the State of Georgia have also posted solicitations with food-service scope that may encompass fresh eggs as line items within broader food-supply contracts. Award is consistently made on price as the primary factor, with sample quality and lead time as secondary considerations; no guaranteed minimums or maximums are specified in any posting, and the CDOC reserves the right to award to multiple bidders or adjust quantities and delivery locations at its discretion.

Colorado Department of Corrections is the clear repeat buyer, with fifteen documented quotes posted between May 2026 and October 2026 covering delivery to four to six facilities per solicitation cycle (most commonly Buena Vista Correctional Complex, Sterling Correctional Facility, and Central Warehouse in Canon City). The solicitations are issued as Documented Quotes with three- to seven-day response windows and expected award on the closing date; submission is required through bidnetdirect.com/cdoc, and all pricing must be all-inclusive F.O.B. Destination with firm terms for the purchase-order duration, no substitutions accepted once brand is awarded, and annual price increases capped at 2.5% if mutually agreed. Pre-award requirements are stringent: Colorado Secretary of State good-standing proof, Enhanced Criminal Background Investigation completion within 30 days, commercial general liability insurance minimum $1 million per occurrence, CORE registration, and compliance with facility security provisions including fingerprinting and drug testing for all personnel with facility access. Failure to deliver on three separate occasions results in three-year or indefinite disqualification. Recent representative opportunities include Colorado Department of Corrections RFQ DQ1CAAA20270001241 (posted October 9, 2026, due October 15, 2026) for 180 cases of 30-dozen eggs to three facilities with October 19–23 delivery, and Colorado Department of Corrections RFQ DQ1CAAA20270001141 (posted September 25, 2026, due October 1, 2026) for 420 cases across five facilities with October 5–9 delivery. The code shows concentrated recent activity in Colorado with a single solicitation posted from Georgia; pursuit is viable for vendors with institutional food-service experience, established Colorado Secretary of State registration, and ability to meet rapid-turnaround weekly delivery schedules at firm pricing.
