UNSPSC 50434812: Dried organic pleurotus mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50434812 Dried organic pleurotus mushrooms is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of dried mushrooms; instead, they reflect broad food-supply solicitations by school districts, correctional departments, and child nutrition programs that encompass proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and miscellaneous staple items. The code appears misaligned with the actual work being solicited, which spans master grocery contracts, cafeteria food products, fresh produce, beans, and general food-supply distribution serving K–12 schools, institutional feeding programs, and state correctional facilities across multiple states.

The issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state correctional departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's office; Oregon Department of Corrections), state nutrition programs (Illinois and Georgia), and municipal child-care programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). Procurement activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia, with additional activity in Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Comptroller procuring cafeteria food products for TDCJ (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools soliciting Master Grocery K-12 supplies (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District seeking grocery items for the 2026–27 school year (due April 29, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections bidding dried pinto and red beans (approximately 42,500 pounds, due June 19, 2026), and the City of Edinburg, Texas, requesting CACFP meal-program supplies including food, paper goods, and janitorial items (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026). These solicitations reflect institutional bulk procurement with firm fixed pricing, delivery schedules, compliance certifications, and insurance requirements typical of state and local food-service operations.
