UNSPSC 50424805: Dried cremini mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50424805 Dried cremini mushrooms, a Commodity code, encompasses specialty dried produce items for institutional food service, though recent state and local procurement activity under this specific code is minimal and does not center on cremini mushrooms alone. The opportunities that do appear under dried-vegetable and grocery classifications reveal that state and local buyers source dried legumes and fresh produce through broader food-service frameworks rather than purchasing cremini mushrooms as a line item. School districts, state corrections departments, and child nutrition programs constitute the primary issuing bodies, with purchasing conducted through RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs that bundle dried or preserved ingredients within larger grocery or food-supply contracts. Buying entities range from individual school districts and county education systems to state departments and multiagency cooperative purchasing vehicles; Fairfax County Public Schools, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the Rockwood R-VI School District, and Muscogee County Schools represent repeat institutional food-service purchasers. These jurisdictions execute annual or multi-year term contracts with firm fixed pricing, delivery schedules anchored to school calendars or operational need, and compliance requirements tied to USDA standards, nutritional specifications, and food-safety certifications.

Geographic concentration appears in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia based on recent posted solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' IFB for cafeteria food products on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (solicitation 304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026), which encompassed approximately 382 line items spanning proteins, dairy, grains, canned and fresh vegetables, and miscellaneous staples across five TDCJ warehouse locations; the Rockwood R-VI School District child nutrition services grocery bid (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items for the 2026–27 school year; and the City of Edinburg, Texas, Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service RFP (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) for beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items serving approximately 400 children daily. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140 and S2910000016233), indicating that dried legumes and preserved vegetables are procured as distinct commodity lines within larger food-service frameworks. Dried cremini mushrooms do not appear explicitly in recent postings; the code's activity reflects broader institutional grocery procurement rather than specialty mushroom sourcing.
