UNSPSC 50131625: In shell checked and dirty egg industrial from chickens

Includes chicken eggs in the shell that have cracked shells and/or have dirt on the surface that makes the eggs unsuitable for use as a table egg. These eggs are typically those that were rejected during a quality sorting process. Eggs may be unwashed, washed, or washed and oiled. Excludes eggs that have been cooked.

UNSPSC 50131625 In shell checked and dirty egg industrial from chickens is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure fresh eggs for institutional food service — primarily correctional facilities, schools, and school nutrition programs. The recent solicitation record shows heavy concentration among correctional facility food service, where the Colorado Department of Corrections dominates with frequent, repeating RFQ cycles for Grade A fresh eggs across multiple facilities, alongside scattered procurement activity from school districts and cooperatives sourcing eggs for National School Lunch Programs and school breakfast operations. Scope centers on USDA Grade A eggs (brown or white varieties), supplied in loose-pack cases of 15 or 30 dozen, stamped and dated within 17 days of delivery, maintained at or below 45 degrees Fahrenheit, with all pricing all-inclusive on an FOB Destination basis. Deliveries are weekly or scheduled for single-week windows; vendors absorb all transportation and surcharge costs, and pricing must remain firm during the purchase order term. Award is consistently price-driven as primary criterion, with sample quality and lead time as secondary factors.

Colorado Department of Corrections executes the vast majority of visible activity under this code, posting documented quotes (DQ) solicitations nearly every two weeks from May 2026 through July 2026, typically requesting 90 to 360 cases per solicitation across 2 to 6 facilities, with response windows of 3 to 10 days and notice-of-intent-to-award on the same day as quote due date. A sample representative opportunity: the CDOC issued DQ1CAAA20270000061 on July 10, 2026, requesting fresh eggs via RFQ with quotes due July 16, 2026, for delivery to Arkansas Valley, Central Warehouse, and Sterling Correctional Facilities during the week of July 20–24, 2026, for 240 cases of 30-dozen eggs. Beyond Colorado corrections, Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for school nutrition food items on May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026; the GEC Buying Cooperative (serving 30 Georgia school districts) issued an RFP for fresh produce and eggs on February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026; and Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for produce and food products, including eggs, on March 30, 2026, due April 29, 2026. Colorado and Georgia dominate the recent record; no other states show repeat activity in the source materials.
