UNSPSC 50404819: White mushrooms

The variety of mushrooms known as white mushrooms

UNSPSC 50404819 White mushrooms is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh produce, primarily mushrooms and other fresh vegetables, for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying fresh mushrooms and related produce as components of larger food-service contracts—including ingredient procurement for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, and mental health treatment centers. The code sees activity across multiple issuing-body types: state health and human services commissions, departments of criminal justice, school districts, counties, and specialized healthcare facilities. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice are repeat buyers, issuing multiple solicitations for fresh produce and related consumables under IFB and RFP notice types with response deadlines typically 7 to 30 days out.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumables and food-service groceries for state-supported living centers (Lufkin, Mexia) with response deadlines in August and October 2026, requesting fresh vegetables, prepared foods, and service supplies on F.O.B. Destination terms with firm pricing and delivery within seven days of order. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued several RFPs for fresh fruit and vegetable supplies to regional food warehouses (Snyder, Wynne, Palestine) with response deadlines in October 2026, all submitted through the TDCJ Procurement Portal. Georgia school districts (Bryan County, Dougherty County, Bartow County) have posted sealed-bid procurements for fresh produce including mushrooms, vegetables, and fruits for school nutrition programs during 2026–2027 with response deadlines ranging from May through June 2026 and evaluation criteria emphasizing cost, quality, delivery capability, and local sourcing within 400 miles. Illinois Department of Corrections and Illinois Department of Mental Health posted small-purchase and IFB solicitations for fresh produce in August and September 2026. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) and Head Start of Greater Dallas have also bid fresh fruit and vegetable contracts with USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program or Child and Adult Care Food Program compliance required. Commodity-level visibility into white mushrooms specifically is limited—most recent opportunities tag mushrooms as one line item within broader fresh-produce or food-service contracts rather than standalone mushroom procurements.
