UNSPSC 50131623: In shell nest run egg from chickens

Includes chicken eggs in the shell that have not been sorted for quality.

UNSPSC 50131623 In shell nest run egg from chickens is a Commodity code covering fresh eggs supplied to institutional food-service operations. State and local governments procuring under this code are buying USDA Grade A fresh eggs in bulk—typically 90 to 420 cases per solicitation in 15 or 30-dozen case configurations—for delivery to correctional facilities, schools, and other institutional kitchens. Eggs must meet strict freshness, grading, temperature, and labeling standards, with delivery almost uniformly on an F.O.B. Destination basis at temperatures not exceeding 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Purchasing bodies under this code include state departments of corrections, school districts, and county boards of education. The Colorado Department of Corrections dominates the recent activity, issuing weekly or biweekly Documented Quotes (DQs) for fresh eggs across multiple correctional facilities since at least April 2026. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) and the State of Georgia also appear in the recent record, signaling that the code sees activity beyond Colorado corrections. Evaluation typically prioritizes price as the primary factor, with sample quality and lead time as secondary considerations.

Recent solicitations cluster heavily in Colorado, with the Colorado Department of Corrections posting fresh-egg RFQs continuously throughout 2026—roughly one per week from late April through mid-October 2026. Representative opportunities include solicitation DQ1CAAA20270001241 (posted October 9, 2026, due October 15, 2026), a Colorado Department of Corrections RFQ for 180 cases of 30-dozen eggs to three facilities with delivery the week of October 19–23, and solicitation DQ1CAAA20270001141 (posted September 25, 2026, due October 1, 2026), an RFQ for 420 cases across five correctional facilities. Early County Board of Education in Georgia issued an RFQ for approximately 300+ food items including dairy and eggs (posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026), and the State of Georgia posted a broader food-supplies bid (posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026). All Colorado Department of Corrections awards require vendors to complete enhanced criminal background investigations within 30 days of notification, register with the Colorado Secretary of State, maintain commercial general liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence, and submit pricing that remains firm for the purchase-order term with no additional shipping surcharges or taxes. The code shows steady institutional demand in corrections and school food service, with Colorado the dominant jurisdiction but with emerging Georgia school and state-level activity.
