UNSPSC 50434800: Dried organic mushrooms

The type of organic vegetable known as organic mushrooms that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50434800 Dried organic mushrooms, a Class code, shows little relevant recent activity under its stated scope. State and local governments actively procure dried legumes—pinto beans, red beans, black beans, and kidney beans—for institutional food service, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs, but none of the recent opportunities posted under this code match the organic mushroom specification. The Georgia Correctional Industries RFQ for kidney beans, the Oregon Department of Corrections bids for dried pinto and red beans, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for cafeteria food products spanning proteins, grains, and produce all reflect institutional bulk procurement of staple food items for meal preparation at scale, yet these are tagged to a code nominally reserved for dried organic mushrooms. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for dried food commodities beyond mushrooms specifically.

The recent opportunities originate from correctional agencies (Georgia Department of Corrections, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing offices (State of Oregon, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and municipal governments (City of Edinburg, Texas). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 RFQ for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation adjustment and FOB delivery to Salem within 45 days; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB (extended to May 4, 2026) for cafeteria food products across 382 line items supplying five geographic warehouse areas with FOB Destination pricing; and Georgia Correctional Industries' October 2026 RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9. None of these align with dried organic mushrooms as typically understood in food service procurement.
