UNSPSC 50404817: Shimeji mushrooms

The variety of mushrooms known as shimeji mushrooms

UNSPSC 50404817 Shimeji mushrooms, a Commodity code, does not appear in state and local procurement solicitations reviewed in this dataset. The recent opportunities tagged under this code or related produce categories are dominated by bulk fresh produce for institutional food service—whole fruits, vegetables, and commodity proteins delivered to correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services rather than specialty mushroom varieties. No state or local government solicitation in the source specifically names shimeji mushrooms or proprietary mushroom cultivars as a line item or scope requirement. The code shows no meaningful procurement activity that would signal a pursuit opportunity at this time.

The broader produce-procurement activity visible in the dataset—including fresh fruit and vegetable supply RFPs and IFBs from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Corrections, and school districts in Georgia, Texas, and Wisconsin—centers on standard commodity produce items (carrots, potatoes, apples, lettuce, tomatoes, onions) and prepared foods for high-volume institutional operations. Issuing bodies span state corrections departments, state healthcare agencies, school nutrition programs, and county school systems. Texas, Georgia, and Illinois dominate recent postings. Representative opportunities include the Texas TDCJ fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations (IW267376, IW267420, IW267411) with October 2026 response dates, the Illinois Department of Corrections Joliet Treatment Center fresh produce RFQ (27426DOCJOLIEB53849) with September 3, 2026 due date, and multiple Georgia school district produce bids (Dougherty County, Bartow County, Bryan County, Early County) with May through June 2026 deadlines. Without documented state or local demand for shimeji mushrooms as a distinct procurement line, this code warrants a skip.
