UNSPSC 50424813: Dried pompom mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50424813 Dried pompom mushrooms is a Commodity code that nominally names a single food product line, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with the code's stated scope. The opportunities actually solicited are institutional food procurement covering a much broader range of dried legumes and general food supplies — kidney beans, dried black beans, dried pinto and red beans, and multi-category food and kitchen products for correctional facilities, educational institutions, and child care programs. The issuing bodies span state correctional departments and agricultural agencies (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Oregon, State of Illinois, State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), municipal governments (City of Edinburg, Texas), and child care organizations. Contracts are structured as sealed bids (IFB), RFP, or RFQ vehicles with response deadlines typically two to three weeks from posting. Scope of work includes specification compliance with USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning for debris and contamination removal, bulk institutional quantities (ranging from 880 bags to 42,500 pounds), FOB destination delivery requirements, product certifications, and compliance with FDA, HACCP, and Good Manufacturing Practice standards.

Geographic activity concentrates in Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. Recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors; Georgia Correctional Industries soliciting kidney beans in 880-bag increments with bids due October 9, 2026; the State of Oregon seeking triple-cleaned dried black beans due August 21, 2026; the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing an IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026; and the City of Edinburg, Texas, posting an RFP for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supplies (beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial and nonfood items) with a local-vendor preference and daily delivery requirements. The code shows persistent institutional food procurement activity but limited specificity to mushrooms as a commodity line.
