UNSPSC 50404815: Portobella mushrooms

The variety of mushrooms known as portobella mushrooms

UNSPSC 50404815 Portobella mushrooms is a Commodity code that names a single produce line item, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant direct demand. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting portobella mushrooms. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code predominantly solicit broader fresh produce categories—fresh fruits and vegetables, produce for school nutrition programs, and food service groceries—in which portobella mushrooms may be a subordinate line item or bundled ingredient rather than a primary procurement focus. State and local issuing bodies buying under related produce codes include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (canteen and food service supplies for state supported living centers), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (fresh produce for institutional food warehouses and prison kitchens), school districts in Georgia and Illinois, regional transit or county entities like Collier County (food services contracts), and specialized agencies such as the Illinois Department of Corrections and Madden Mental Health Center. The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Texas (HHS, TDCJ facilities across multiple warehouses), Georgia (school districts in Bartow, Dougherty, Bryan, and Early counties), Illinois (Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health), and Florida (Collier County).

Representative recent opportunities show the broader procurement context but do not isolate portobella mushrooms as a distinct line item. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with no specific mention of portobella mushrooms. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted multiple fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations in September and October 2026 (IW267376, IW267420, IW267411) requesting fresh produce delivery to prison food warehouses, but these do not specify mushroom types or isolate portobella demand. School districts in Georgia—Bryan County (bid due May 27, 2026) and Bartow County (proposal due June 22, 2026)—solicited fresh produce for school nutrition programs under RFP frameworks, listing standard fruits and vegetables without explicit portobella mushroom specifications. The code shows little standalone or concentrated demand; pursuit viability depends on identifying opportunities where mushrooms or portobella mushrooms are listed as discrete line items with quantity and pricing detail, rather than embedded in generic fresh-produce categories.
