UNSPSC 50424810: Dried morels mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50424810 Dried morels mushrooms is a Commodity code, but the most recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not actually solicit morels. Instead, the code sees activity for other dried beans and legumes — pinto beans, red beans, black beans, and kidney beans — used in bulk institutional food service for correctional facilities, child and adult care programs, and state agencies. State and local buyers under this code are primarily corrections departments, state food-procurement offices, and municipal child-care programs. Work solicited includes bulk dried legume supply with exacting specifications for grading, cleanliness, moisture content, and food safety compliance; delivery to central distribution points or institutional kitchens; and pricing structured as all-inclusive per-unit or per-pound rates with freight and handling embedded.

The code sees activity concentrated in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 solicitation for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (IFB S2910000017705, bids due June 19, 2026) with a 10% Oregon-based vendor evaluation preference and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound; Georgia Correctional Industries' October 2026 RFQ for kidney beans delivered in 880-bag increments (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, bids due October 9, 2026); the State of Oregon's August 2026 solicitation for triple-cleaned dried black beans (S2910000017705, bids due August 21, 2026); and the City of Edinburg, Texas's August 2026 RFP for food and nonfood items supporting a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service (RFP2026017, proposals due August 4, 2026) with a 5% local-vendor preference. None of the recent postings appear to be soliciting morels mushrooms specifically.
