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 for fresh eggs in bulk pack, which state and local governments procure in substantial volumes for correctional facility food service, school nutrition programs, and institutional kitchens. The Colorado Department of Corrections dominates recent activity under this code, issuing numerous Documented Quote (DQ) solicitations on a weekly or biweekly cycle throughout the first half of 2026 to supply eggs to multiple correctional facilities across the state. School districts in Georgia and Missouri also solicit fresh eggs regularly, including the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services, Early County Board of Education, Henry County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, and the GEC Buying Cooperative (a consortium of 40 Georgia school districts). The work being solicited involves procurement of USDA Grade A eggs, typically medium or large size in loose pack cases of 15 or 30 dozen, stamped and dated no more than 17 days prior to delivery, and maintained at temperatures not exceeding 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Delivery is FOB Destination with freight prepaid and all-inclusive pricing; branded eggs are specified with no substitutions permitted, and vendors must carry $1 million in commercial general liability insurance and complete enhanced criminal background investigations or USDA compliance requirements before award.

Colorado Department of Corrections procurement dominates the geographic spread, with documented activity from March 2026 through July 2026 across more than twenty separate solicitations naming facilities in Crowley, Canon City, Denver, Sterling, Limon, Buena Vista, and other locations statewide. Georgia school districts (Henry County, Liberty County, Early County, and the GEC Buying Cooperative) account for the second-largest cluster of recent activity, with RFP and IFB issuances in February and March 2026 targeting July 2026 contract start dates. A single solicitation from the State of Georgia (PE55645NONST2026000000009) posted May 15, 2026, encompasses broader food supplies beyond eggs alone. Representative recent opportunities include the Colorado Department of Corrections RFQ DQ1CAAA20270000061 (posted July 10, 2026, response due July 16, 2026) for 240 cases of 30-dozen eggs to three correctional facilities with delivery the week of July 20–24, 2026; the GEC Buying Cooperative RFP SN 26-004 (posted February 4, 2026, response due March 4, 2026) seeking fresh eggs alongside produce for 30 Georgia school districts across two geographic areas with estimated combined annual spending of $5.5 million; and the Early County Board of Education RFP (posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300 food line items including eggs to three schools for the 2026–27 school year under the National School Lunch Program.
