UNSPSC 50424800: Dried mushrooms

The type of vegetable known as mushrooms that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424800 Dried mushrooms, a Class code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The seven opportunities posted since mid-May 2026 include only one solicitation for dried mushrooms as the primary commodity—the remainder are for dried beans, fresh food service items, and broader cafeteria supply categories tangentially related to the code's name. State and local governments use this code narrowly when they do buy under it, typically for institutional food service in correctional facilities, educational programs, and state agency meal provision. The issuing bodies are primarily state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Correctional Industries, State of Illinois, State of Georgia) and municipal school districts (City of Edinburg, Texas), with no county or independent purchasing consortia in the recent record. Correctional and public-meal programs account for the bulk of observed demand, driven by high-volume, standardized-specification procurement cycles.

Recent activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, requiring triple-cleaned product meeting U.S. No. 2 or better grade, palletized delivery to Salem within 45 days, FOB destination with no separate packing fees, and a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-based fabrication and headquarters; the historical price was $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for dried kidney beans with an October 9, 2026 response deadline, specifying 880-bag increments with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict compliance documentation requirements. The State of Oregon posted a separate bid for dried black beans, triple-cleaned per USDA standards, due August 21, 2026 for institutional use. Texas and Georgia also solicited broader food-supply categories that nominally fall outside dried mushrooms but have been tagged to this code; these misclassifications suggest the code sees inconsistent application across procurement offices.
