UNSPSC 50424801: Dried black trumpet mushrooms

The variety of mushrooms known as black trumpet mushrooms that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424801 Dried black trumpet mushrooms is a Commodity code that maps poorly to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific dried mushroom variety, yet the recent solicitations tagged under it encompass broad food service supply for school districts, corrections facilities, and child nutrition programs — dried beans, fresh produce, cafeteria entrees, grocery staples, and proteins — rather than specialty mushroom procurement. No recent opportunity explicitly solicits dried black trumpet mushrooms or any mushroom product.

The mismatch reflects how state and local procurement systems sometimes tag opportunities with codes that do not reflect the actual goods being bought. School districts, state corrections departments, and city nutrition programs are the primary issuing bodies in the recent record, but their food-service buys span commodity categories far broader than dried mushrooms. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) solicited Master Grocery K-12 with over 76 line items by April 27, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) sought over 900 grocery line items by April 29, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections requested 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans by March 20, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured 382 cafeteria food product line items via IFB by May 4, 2026. Georgia school districts and the City of Edinburg, Texas also solicited produce, eggs, and full meal-program supplies across February through July 2026. This code shows substantial recent activity in school nutrition and institutional food service but little evidence of actual mushroom demand. Practitioners pursuing this code should verify whether their specialty product aligns with actual procurement intent before investing bid resources.
