UNSPSC 50414702: Organic brown mushrooms

The variety of organic mushrooms known as organic brown mushrooms

UNSPSC 50414702 Organic brown mushrooms is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fresh produce—including mushrooms alongside broader commodity categories—primarily through school nutrition programs and state food service operations. Recent solicitations show that what is actually being bought under this code falls within the broader institutional fresh-produce supply chain: school districts solicit fresh fruits, vegetables, and specialty items for child nutrition and breakfast programs, while state departments procure fresh produce for state operations and institutional food service. Mushrooms appear in these procurement listings as a single line item among dozens of produce categories (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, eggs) rather than as a standalone commodity focus. The issuing-body mix is dominated by independent school districts and county school systems across the South and Texas, with occasional state-level and specialized procurement vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving multi-district consortia. Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and the Douglas County School System (Georgia, via GEC Buying Cooperative) appear multiple times in recent activity, indicating repeat procurement cycles tied to annual school-year budgets.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with activity spanning late February through June 2026 covering fiscal-year 2026-2027 contracts (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027). Representative recent solicitations include the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative (Georgia, due March 4, 2026, estimated $4.4 million Area One and $1.1 million Area Two), Northside Independent School District RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce and child nutrition (San Antonio, Texas, due May 7, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFQDST for fresh fruit and vegetable program delivery to 18 elementary schools (Tampa, Florida, due March 11, 2026, estimated annual budget $600,000), and Muscogee County School District ITB 26-017 for produce items (Georgia, due April 27, 2026). All demand firm pricing for 12-month contract terms, weekly or twice-weekly delivery to school sites during operating hours, HACCP certification and food-safety compliance, Buy American compliance with domestic sourcing preferences, and awards based on lowest responsive bid or lowest markup above USDA terminal-market indices. No mushroom-specific set-asides or dedicated mushroom solicitations are visible in recent activity; mushrooms are embedded within larger, multi-category fresh-produce buys.
