UNSPSC 50131624: In shell nest run egg from birds other than chickens

Includes eggs from birds other than chicken that are in the shell and have not been sorted for quality.

UNSPSC 50131624 In shell nest run egg from birds other than chickens is a Commodity code that captures fresh egg procurement for institutional food service — specifically, USDA Grade A brown or white eggs in loose-pack cases supplied to correctional facilities, schools, and potentially other state and local operations. State and local governments buying under this code are sourcing eggs for high-volume meal service, where standardized grading, temperature control, and reliable delivery schedules are operational requirements, not commodity trading.

The Colorado Department of Corrections dominates recent activity, issuing a steady stream of Documented Quote (DQ) solicitations for fresh eggs — at least 23 separate RFQs posted between May 2026 and mid-October 2026, with response windows typically three to seven days and award on price as the primary criterion. Each CDOC solicitation targets between 90 and 420 cases of 30-dozen eggs (or equivalent in 15-dozen packs) for delivery to three to six correctional facilities across Colorado in that same week, with strict F.O.B. Destination, all-inclusive pricing, firm pricing terms, temperature control requirements (45 degrees Fahrenheit or lower), and no substitutions once a brand is awarded. CDOC requires bidders to register with the Colorado Secretary of State, obtain proof of good standing, carry commercial general liability insurance at $1 million per occurrence, complete enhanced criminal background investigations within 30 days of award, and comply with facility access restrictions. A single Georgia school district RFQ (Early County Board of Education, June 2026) and one Georgia state food-supplies solicitation (State of Georgia, May 2026) appear in the block, but neither focuses specifically on eggs. Colorado is the dominant geography, with CDOC the clear repeat buyer; no other issuing bodies appear in the recent-opportunities block.
