UNSPSC 50424812: Dried pleurotus mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50424812 Dried pleurotus mushrooms is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not align with mushroom procurement—the block contains solicitations for kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and cafeteria food products across multiple institutional food-service contexts. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and actual purchasing activity, with no verifiable recent opportunities for dried pleurotus mushrooms in the source record. State and local governments procuring food staples for correctional facilities, school-based child care programs, and institutional kitchens are using this code (or it is being applied) to solicit dried legumes and broader food-supply contracts rather than mushroom products specifically.

The issuing bodies in the recent record include the Georgia Department of Corrections, the City of Edinburg (Texas), the State of Oregon, the State of Illinois, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Georgia purchasing office, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller of Public Accounts. Activity spans Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026, with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered suppliers), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products across five warehouse areas (response due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum), the City of Edinburg's August 2026 RFP for CACFP meal program supplies including beverages, paper goods, proteins, and janitorial items serving 400 children daily (proposals due August 4, 2026, with local-vendor preference under Texas law), and the Georgia Department of Corrections' October 2026 RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (bids due October 9, 2026). The code's recent posting history does not support reliable forecasting for mushroom-specific procurement.
