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 that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains no solicitations specifically requesting dried pleurotus mushrooms or any related specialty mushroom products. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span child nutrition services, cafeteria food products, fresh produce, grocery items, and dried commodity beans — none of which cite pleurotus mushrooms as a line item or deliverable. The code's nominal scope does not align with the actual purchasing patterns reflected in the posting data.

State and local procurement activity under broader food and grocery categories — fresh produce, dried beans, general grocery supply, and cafeteria items — shows sustained demand across school districts, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia, and Missouri. The Rockwood R-VI School District (St. Louis County, Missouri) solicited grocery items including over 900 line items for the 2026-27 school year by April 29, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issued an IFB for Master Grocery K-12 by April 27, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, procured cafeteria food products across five geographic areas by May 4, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for dried pinto and red beans (42,500 pounds, response due June 19, 2026) and dried pinto beans alone (127,500 pounds, response due March 20, 2026). These solicitations demonstrate volume and frequency in dried commodity procurement, but none identify dried pleurotus mushrooms as a needed product. Unless pleurotus mushrooms are intended as specialty items within broader grocery or produce line items, this code reflects minimal to no relevant recent state and local procurement opportunity.
