UNSPSC 50404801: Black trumpet mushrooms

The variety of mushrooms known as black trumpet mushrooms

UNSPSC 50404801 Black trumpet mushrooms is a Commodity code that frames a narrow product line within state and local food procurement, yet the recent solicitations tagged under this code show little market activity for mushrooms specifically. State and local governments purchasing under this code are primarily school districts, county boards of education, and state agencies that source fresh produce for child nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service operations. The work being solicited is the supply and delivery of fresh produce—predominantly common produce staples such as apples, carrots, potatoes, lettuce, and tomatoes—with occasional references to specialty items like mushrooms embedded in broader fresh-produce line-item lists. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, including independent and county school districts in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Missouri, supplemented by state departments of criminal justice (Texas and Georgia), city and county senior services divisions, and child care and Head Start organizations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with secondary presence in Missouri and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026, with weekly delivery of approximately 5,900 servings to elementary students in the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB IW253099 for white potatoes for canning due June 23, 2026; the Dougherty County Board of Education (Georgia) sealed-bid procurement for 40 fresh-produce line items including carrots, lettuce, potatoes, and tomatoes due June 16, 2026; and the Northside Independent School District (Texas) RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to all campuses five days per week due May 7, 2026. The code shows heavy activity in the school nutrition segment, with weekly or twice-weekly delivery models, USDA compliance requirements including Buy American provisions and HACCP certification, and contract terms typically running July through June with optional renewals. Cost, product quality, and delivery reliability are standard evaluation criteria, with geographic or local-sourcing preferences common in many jurisdictions.
