UNSPSC 50414710: Organic morels mushrooms

The variety of organic mushrooms known as organic morels mushrooms

UNSPSC 50414710 Organic morels mushrooms is a Commodity code for fresh specialty fungi, but state and local procurement activity under this code bears little resemblance to the nominal scope. Of fourteen recent opportunities tagged to the code between February and June 2026, none solicited morels or organic mushrooms; instead, the posting reflects a broad-spectrum produce and food-service procurement environment dominated by school districts and state education agencies buying fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and packaged grocery items for child nutrition programs. The mismatch suggests either category-mapping drift in the issuing systems or use of an umbrella code to capture produce procurement broadly rather than fungal specialty crops.

State and local buyers under this posting are predominantly K-12 school nutrition programs—including Douglas County School System, Early County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), and Bulloch County School District—alongside state education agencies in Georgia and general-purpose state procurement offices. School districts dominate by volume and frequency, with most opportunities running annual cycles for July 1 through June 30 contract periods. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (Douglas County, Early County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn County, Bulloch County) and Texas (NISD San Antonio, McAllen, Austin), with secondary activity in Florida (Hillsborough County) and Missouri (Rockwood). Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's RFP for line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026, encompassing 300+ food items plus 60 non-food and paper supplies under an ITB; Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce due May 7, 2026, emphasizing USDA Child Nutrition compliance and Texas-grown sourcing; Austin Independent School District's RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and a la carte beverages due March 11, 2026; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One, due March 4, 2026. Vendors must typically meet HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, commercial general liability insurance ($1 million to $2 million), E-Verify requirements, and USDA food-safety standards. No opportunities solicit organic morels specifically; firms pursuing this code should redirect efforts to produce-family codes or clarify category mapping with issuing procurement offices before investing in pursuit.
