UNSPSC 50424805: Dried cremini mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50424805 Dried cremini mushrooms is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little substantive alignment with dried mushrooms. The most recent solicitations include dried kidney beans and black beans (Georgia Correctional Industries and Oregon Department of Corrections), a child and adult care food program meal service covering multiple supply categories including beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items (City of Edinburg, Texas), a Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products procurement spanning approximately 382 line items of proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, and condiments, and a weekly food order for the State of Illinois. The code appears to be tagged incorrectly or used as a catch-all for general dried-goods procurement, as none of the representative opportunities are soliciting mushrooms specifically. State and local procurement bodies—including state departments, correctional facilities, school districts, and food service programs—use dried legumes and institutional food supplies far more actively under this taxonomy number than specialty vegetables.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois, with the Oregon Department of Corrections and State of Georgia posting multiple opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% combined preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered suppliers; the Georgia Correctional Industries RFQ for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags due October 9, 2026; and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts IFB for cafeteria food products serving Texas Department of Criminal Justice warehouse locations across five geographic regions, with responses extended to May 4, 2026. Evaluation criteria in these opportunities typically weight price competitively, often alongside vendor qualifications, delivery performance, and compliance with food-safety and USDA grading standards. If pursuing this code, verify the actual commodity scope with issuing bodies before bid preparation, as the posted opportunities suggest the code is being applied to dried legumes and broad food-service categories rather than mushroom products.
