UNSPSC 50131630: Decharacterized egg products from chickens

Includes any dried, frozen, or liquid content of a chicken egg after removal from the shell that has a substance added to distinguish the product as not fit for human consumption.

UNSPSC 50131630 Decharacterized egg products from chickens is a Commodity code that describes shell eggs and processed egg products supplied to school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. State and local governments procure eggs primarily through school district nutrition centers and board-of-education food service contracts, where eggs appear as line items within broader food-supply solicitations that bundle proteins, produce, dairy, and staple groceries. The issuing bodies are almost exclusively K–12 school districts and county boards of education—Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Douglas County School System, and the Bridgeport Board of Education among recent issuers—supplemented by state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative coordinating multi-district procurements. Eggs are typically specified by grade (Grade A large), temperature and rotation requirements, and nutritional compliance with USDA whole-grain and low-sodium standards, and pricing is often anchored to published commodity reports such as the USDA Atlanta Terminal Wholesale Market Report or Urner Barry indices to control vendor margin and volatility.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. The Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 in February 2026 for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted solicitation BNB053266 in June 2026 seeking commodities including eggs for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, with bids due June 26, 2026 and Buy American compliance required. Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line food bid in May 2026 for approximately 300+ food items including eggs, due June 8, 2026, with delivery to three schools and a contract period through June 30, 2027. The City Schools of Decatur issued IFB PE77310NONST2026000000018 in April 2026 for frozen foods and grocery items, with sealed bids due May 15, 2026 and delivery to ten school sites. Most school district eggs solicitations require compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP documentation, minimum general liability insurance of $500,000 to $1 million, and E-Verify authorization where applicable, with contract terms typically running July 1 through June 30 with renewal options.
