UNSPSC 50414717: Organic shimeji mushrooms

The variety of organic mushrooms known as organic shimeji mushrooms

UNSPSC 50414717 Organic shimeji mushrooms is a Commodity code that state and local governments do not appear to be actively purchasing through formal solicitations. The recent-opportunities data shows no direct procurement activity for organic shimeji mushrooms or any specialty mushroom varieties. Instead, the opportunities indexed under this code reflect broad food procurement for school nutrition programs, encompassing fresh produce, grocery items, and beverages—categories that do not consistently or prominently feature mushroom procurement as a line item.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent solicitation activity signals that either the code has been misapplied in state and local procurement systems or mushroom procurement falls within larger commodity bundles that are not separately tracked or solicited. State education agencies, county school districts, and municipal food services dominate the buying universe shown in the data—particularly in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida—but their RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs target apples, carrots, tomatoes, grains, dairy, and prepared entrees rather than mushroom sourcing. School nutrition program specifications emphasize fresh, whole-produce items and domestically grown commodities under Buy American provisions, and while mushrooms are a potential nutritional component, they are not appearing as named line items or procurement categories in the current active solicitations. If pursuing this code, verify directly with issuing school districts and state food service procurement offices whether mushroom procurement occurs through cooperative purchasing vehicles, standing distributor relationships, or as part of undifferentiated fresh-produce contracts rather than through formal competitive bids.
