UNSPSC 50404808: Hen of the woods mushrooms

The variety of mushrooms known as hen of the woods mushrooms

UNSPSC 50404808 Hen of the woods mushrooms is a Commodity code that spans a narrow product category; state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal recent volume. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically for hen of the woods mushrooms or any other mushroom species. The code's nominal scope — a single specialty fungal variety — does not align with the broader fresh produce, food service, and commodity purchasing activity documented in the opportunities presented. State and local governments soliciting under produce-related UNSPSC codes are buying fresh fruits, vegetables, prepared foods, and food service supplies for institutional food service operations (correctional facilities, mental health centers, schools, senior centers, state-supported living centers), but none of the recent opportunities name mushrooms or specialty foraged fungi as line items or procurement targets.

Activity under produce-related codes centers on institutional food service across Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia (Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Schools, Early County Schools, Bryan County Schools), Illinois (Department of Corrections, Department of Mental Health), Florida (Collier County), and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with solicitations issued as IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs for bulk fresh produce delivery on tight timelines — typically biweekly or weekly — to correctional and healthcare facilities. The code shows no discernible recent procurement activity and does not represent a viable pursuit opportunity at this time.
