UNSPSC 50414712: Organic pleurotus mushrooms

The variety of organic mushrooms known as organic pleurotus mushrooms

UNSPSC 50414712 Organic pleurotus mushrooms is a Commodity code that does not map to recent state and local procurement activity—the sourced opportunities instead show school districts, county education boards, and state agencies buying fresh produce broadly (fruits, vegetables, and eggs) for child nutrition and institutional food service, with no specific pleurotus or specialty mushroom line items appearing in the bid scope documents. This code is not actively pursued by state and local buyers in the current market.

The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity (organic pleurotus mushrooms) and the actual procurement activity documented suggests either a classification error at the source or minimal real demand for this specific product line in state and local food service contracting. Recent opportunities from Early County Schools (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Rockwood School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts all specify fresh produce procurement—apples, bananas, berries, peppers, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes, and eggs—with RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs posted between February and June 2026. None of these solicitations name mushrooms, pleurotus or otherwise, as a line item or specification category. Buyers prioritize domestic sourcing, HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, and cost control through USDA market indexing, but the commodity code itself does not align with documented institutional purchasing patterns for organic specialty mushrooms in school nutrition or state food service.
