UNSPSC 50414711: Organic oyster mushrooms

The variety of organic mushrooms known as organic oyster mushrooms

UNSPSC 50414711 Organic oyster mushrooms is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The opportunities tagged with this code span fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and child nutrition initiatives across multiple states, but none of the sourced solicitations explicitly specify organic oyster mushrooms or specialty mushroom varieties.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and recent activity is substantial. State and local buying under this tag centers on broad fresh produce supply—apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and prepared produce items—for school districts, food service operations, and USDA child nutrition programs. The Early County Board of Education (RFP, due June 8, 2026) solicits line-by-line bids for approximately 300 food items spanning meats, dairy, grains, and produce for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The Northside Independent School District in San Antonio (RFP 2026-048, due May 7, 2026) seeks USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable–compliant fresh produce delivered five days per week to all district campuses. The Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa (RFP, due March 11, 2026) procures specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program serving approximately 18 elementary schools, emphasizing raw, pre-cut, pre-packaged items without additives. Issuing bodies include state departments (Georgia), county school districts (Bulloch, Early, Liberty, Glynn, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Douglasville), municipal school systems (Austin, Northside, Rockwood, McAllen), and special nutrition programs. Procurement activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with additional activity in Missouri and Florida. Recent solicitations employ RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB vehicles with response dates ranging from March through June 2026. The code appears to carry a categorization error; vendors specializing in organic oyster mushrooms would find limited match in these postings and should monitor for corrections to the taxonomy assignment or watch for institutional procurement of specialty mushroom lines under broader produce codes.
