UNSPSC 50414721: Organic woodear mushrooms

The variety of organic mushrooms known as organic woodear mushrooms

UNSPSC 50414721 Organic woodear mushrooms is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely procure organic woodear mushrooms as a standalone line item; instead, fresh produce suppliers compete on broad institutional food service contracts where mushrooms appear among 60 to 72 produce line items alongside apples, broccoli, carrots, and other staples. Recent solicitations from school districts and state agencies show produce procurement bundled into multi-category RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs that span fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and sometimes non-food supplies. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Northside Independent School District in Texas, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Bulloch County School District in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Glynn County Board of Education in Georgia, McAllen Independent School District in Texas, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Douglas County School System in Georgia) and state agencies (Georgia Department of Education). These jurisdictions award contracts to produce distributors capable of weekly or twice-weekly delivery to multiple school sites, with pricing evaluated on a line-item or cost-plus-fee basis against USDA market indices.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with the largest institutional buyers being multi-campus school districts serving 6,000 to 83,000 students. Representative solicitations include Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) covering 72 produce line items for 30 school districts with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending across two geographic areas; Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 (posted April 14, 2026, due May 7, 2026) seeking USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable-compliant fresh produce for all campuses with delivery five days per week; and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026) encompassing approximately 300 food items plus produce for the National School Lunch Program. Vendors must hold HACCP certification, comply with Buy American provisions, maintain commercial general liability insurance ($1 million to $2 million per occurrence), demonstrate three to five years of produce distribution experience, and accept pricing tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service terminal market reports or fixed-fee-per-case models. No standalone mushroom specifications appear in any recent opportunity; organic woodear mushrooms are not listed as a separate commodity in the specification sheets reviewed, suggesting minimal market differentiation or demand under this UNSPSC code at the state and local level.
