UNSPSC 50131629: Egg products and substitutes from chickens

Includes any homogenous dried, frozen, liquid, or further processed content of a chicken egg after removal from the shell and without other added food ingredients (meat, cheese, vegetables). Excludes recipe-based egg-based products such as quiche mixes or mayonnaise.

UNSPSC 50131629 Egg products and substitutes from chickens is a Commodity code covering fresh and processed egg products supplied to school districts, state agencies, and municipal nutrition programs for institutional food service. State and local procurement under this code centers on bulk egg sourcing — whole eggs, egg products in various forms, and egg substitutes — for school lunch and breakfast programs, with compliance requirements including Buy American provisions mandating domestic production and processing. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school boards, joined by state departments and municipal nutrition centers. The typical solicitation is an IFB or RFQ structured as a line-item bid within a broader food commodities package covering proteins, dairy, produce, and non-food supplies; contracts run annual calendar or fiscal-year terms with multi-unit delivery schedules to central nutrition facilities or individual school sites.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic, with sourced opportunities from Connecticut, Georgia, and Early County, Georgia (which encompasses school nutrition procurement across multiple schools). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB053266 in June 2026 for 115 food line items — including eggs among poultry, cheese, beef, and produce — for delivery to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center through June 30, 2027, with responses due June 26, 2026; MBE/CBE certifications were applicable under city ordinance. The Early County Board of Education issued IFB PE55045NONST2027000000006 in May 2026 for approximately 300 food items spanning meats, poultry, dairy, grains, and condiments across three schools for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, with bids due June 8, 2026. The State of Georgia issued RFQ PE55645NONST2026000000009 in May 2026 for food, supplies, and kitchen products with responses due June 22, 2026; full scope and vendor classifications were contained in attached solicitation documents. Deliveries are typically Monday-through-Friday, with advance appointments required, destination freight prepaid, and firm pricing for the contract term unless major market shifts trigger 30-day renegotiation or price-adjustment review cycles tied to USDA indices.
