UNSPSC 50131635: Egg imitation

Includes any product that functionally and nutritionally resembles a liquid whole egg, egg yolk, or egg whites but does not contain any egg component.

UNSPSC 50131635 Egg imitation (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity; the code's scope nominally covers egg substitutes and imitation egg products, but the recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit fresh eggs and comprehensive school nutrition supplies rather than egg imitations. One of six recent opportunities—the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs (February 2026, due March 4, 2026)—explicitly names Grade A large eggs as a line item within a 72-item produce procurement totaling approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two across 30 school districts. The remaining opportunities (Bridgeport Board of Education, State of Georgia, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, and a Sourcewell law enforcement cooperative) are substantially misaligned with egg-imitation procurement; they cover general school nutrition commodities, broad food-service supplies, or law enforcement equipment. The sourcing pattern indicates state and local buyers are treating the code as a catch-all for egg-related food items without distinguishing imitation products. School districts and boards of education dominate the issuing bodies, reflecting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program's role in driving food-service procurement across K-12 systems.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut, with secondary activity in the broader state-level procurement space (Georgia's statewide food-supplies solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026). All identified opportunities require compliance with Buy American provisions under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, HACCP plans, liability insurance (typically $1 million commercial general liability), and firm fixed pricing over contract terms ranging from one to five years, with some allowing quarterly or semiannual escalation tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index benchmarks. Deliveries are destination freight prepaid to school sites, with most contracts running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Sourcewell cooperative procurement (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026) is unrelated to this commodity code and appears to be a system-tagging error. The lack of dedicated egg-imitation solicitations and the predominance of fresh-egg and general food-service opportunities suggest the code sees little targeted demand from state and local buyers; procurement professionals should verify commodity-code accuracy before pursuing opportunities tagged under this classification.
