UNSPSC 50424804: Dried chanterelle mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50424804 Dried chanterelle mushrooms, a Commodity code, sits at the intersection of agricultural procurement and institutional food service, though recent state and local opportunities reveal a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being solicited. Rather than chanterelle mushrooms specifically, state and local buyers are soliciting dried legumes—kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans—for correctional facilities, school lunch programs, and state agencies. These procurements emphasize bulk institutional quantities, compliance with USDA and FDA food-safety standards, triple-cleaned product specifications, palletization requirements, and delivery to central distribution points or meal-service sites. The issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Georgia and Oregon), state purchasing offices (Georgia and Oregon), school districts and child care programs (City of Edinburg, Texas), and state criminal justice systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the state comptroller's office). The scope varies from single-commodity bean purchases to broader food-supply contracts encompassing proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and produce.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Oregon Department of Corrections is procuring approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, with bids due June 19, 2026, under an IFB offering a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders; the incumbent historical price was $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries issued RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags due October 9, 2026, with all-inclusive delivery pricing required. The State of Oregon posted a bid on dried black beans (triple-cleaned, USDA-consistent grading) due August 21, 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas, released RFP 2026-017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service covering five supply categories including food products, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and evaluation weighting cost at 30%, qualifications at 25%, technical approach at 25%, and menu quality at 20%. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the state comptroller's office, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas with response due May 4, 2026 (extended via Addendum No. 2 from April 21). The code shows no recent activity explicitly matching dried chanterelle mushrooms; procurement professionals should verify tagging accuracy before pursuing opportunities under this code.
