UNSPSC 50434810: Dried organic morels mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50434810 Dried organic morels mushrooms, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct purchasing activity in state and local procurement. The recent-opportunities block reflects a significant mismatch: only one opportunity aligns with dried mushrooms, while the remaining solicitations tag the code for broader fresh and processed food categories—dried beans, fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive grocery supply—that fall outside the commodity's specialized scope. This mismatch signals that the code either is applied inconsistently by state and local procurement offices or sits dormant in active buying patterns. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited dried pinto and red beans (ITB S-29100-00017140, due June 19, 2026), and a related ODOC procurement for dried pinto beans (ITB S-29100-00016233, due March 20, 2026) closed at $0.43 per pound from Farmer Bean in the prior fiscal cycle, but neither procurement explicitly targets dried mushrooms or specialty foraged ingredients.

Activity concentrates in Georgia school nutrition programs and multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles rather than in any single jurisdiction pursuing dried mushrooms. The Douglas County School System, on behalf of the GEC Buying Cooperative, is aggregating fresh produce and egg procurement across 30 districts (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, estimated $4.4 million for Area One), and the Muscogee County School District is soliciting fresh produce (ITB 26-017, due April 27, 2026). Texas procurement is active as well: the Texas Department of Criminal Justice is sourcing cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (IFB 304T-26-300CF, response extended to May 4, 2026), and the City of Edinburg is seeking CACFP meal program supplies for 400 children daily (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026). The code's assignment to these general grocery solicitations, rather than procurement of dried mushrooms themselves, reflects either overly broad tagging or the absence of meaningful state and local demand for this commodity. Vendors evaluating pursuit should verify actual line-item inclusion in any tagged opportunity rather than rely on code assignment alone.
