UNSPSC 50404802: Brown mushrooms

The variety of mushrooms known as brown mushrooms

UNSPSC 50404802 Brown mushrooms is a Commodity code covering fresh produce supplied to state and local institutional food service operations, including correctional facilities, mental health centers, state supported living centers, school districts, and senior services programs. State and local buyers procure brown mushrooms as part of broader fresh produce and grocery solicitations that typically bundle multiple produce items, prepared foods, and food service supplies into single contracts with quarterly or annual terms. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (Texas HHS Commission, Illinois Department of Mental Health, Illinois Department of Corrections), state correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county and municipal school nutrition programs (Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Madison Metropolitan School District, Early County Board of Education), county regional parks (Collier County), and specialized food distribution networks (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Repeat solicitation activity from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Health and Human Services Commission indicates sustained demand from state institutional food service operations, particularly in Texas.

Recent solicitations show brown mushrooms listed as one commodity within larger fresh produce line-item bids spanning 30 to 300+ food items. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026) for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center and IFB HHS0017798 (due August 25, 2026) for canteen and food service groceries at Mexia State Supported Living Center, both using firm fixed unit pricing on detailed line-item sheets with F.O.B. Destination delivery. The Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center issued a small purchase contract (due August 14, 2026) for approximately 39 fresh fruit and vegetable line items including mushrooms for weekly delivery through June 30, 2027. Bryan County School Nutrition Program (Georgia) issued a sealed bid for fresh produce (due May 27, 2026) specifying case quantities and pack sizes for multiple produce items. School districts and correctional facilities dominate recent solicitation activity, with geographic concentration in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois; contract terms typically run from July through June (school year) or September through August (fiscal year), with renewal options of one to four additional years.
