UNSPSC 50404806: Enoki mushrooms

The variety of mushrooms known as enoki mushrooms

UNSPSC 50404806 Enoki mushrooms is a Commodity code that sits at the narrowest tier of the taxonomy; however, the recent state and local procurement activity in the source does not reflect solicitations specifically for enoki mushrooms. Instead, the opportunities tagged with or adjacent to this code show state and local governments buying broad fresh produce categories—apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, and other vegetables and fruits—as part of institutional food service contracts for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, senior services, and public mental health facilities. The code's nominal scope (a single specialty mushroom variety) diverges sharply from what is actually being procured across these jurisdictions, which are generalist produce supply arrangements rather than specialty items. State and local issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (for state-supported living centers), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (for prison food warehouses), the Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health, school districts in Georgia, Wisconsin, and Texas, Collier County (Florida), Bartow County and Dougherty County School Systems (Georgia), Bryan County Schools (Georgia), and the City of San Antonio.

The geographic footprint of recent activity centers on Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Florida, with the heaviest concentration in Texas (TDCJ solicitations for fresh produce and bulk potatoes at multiple warehouse locations, HHS Commission contracts for state-supported living centers) and Georgia (school nutrition programs across Bartow, Dougherty, Early, and Bryan County districts). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's RFPs for fresh fruit and vegetables at Palestine and Snyder food warehouses (responses due October 19 and October 14, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), the Dougherty County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 40 line items to 24 school nutrition sites (bids due June 16, 2026), and the Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026). No recent opportunities in the source are explicitly soliciting enoki mushrooms; firms pursuing this code should verify whether specialty produce varieties are being bought separately or folded into broader fresh-produce category awards, as the current activity does not support a distinct market segment for this Commodity code.
