UNSPSC 50434813: Dried organic pompom mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50434813 Dried organic pompom mushrooms is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty dried mushroom products sourced for institutional food service operations. State and local governments soliciting under this code procure dried mushrooms as component ingredients within larger grocery and food service supply contracts rather than as standalone line items, integrating them into meal programs for schools, corrections facilities, and child care operations. Recent solicitations show this commodity embedded within broad food procurement RFPs and IFBs spanning hundreds of line items across proteins, vegetables, grains, and specialty ingredients—for example, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Invitation for Bid No. 304T-26-300CF encompasses approximately 382 food line items for cafeteria supply across five geographic warehouse areas, the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 solicits main-line food service distribution for 32,000 daily meals across 32 schools, and the Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery procurement for 2026-27 spans over 900 line items across snacks, produce, dairy, and prepared entrees. Issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Muscogee County), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state nutrition programs (Illinois IVHQ), child care food programs (City of Edinburg CACFP), and regional education cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative). The code shows no recent isolated solicitations for dried organic pompom mushrooms specifically; dried mushrooms appear as potential component line items within larger institutional food procurement bundles, not as standalone purchases in the recent-opportunities record.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (TDCJ, City of Edinburg RFP2026017), Georgia (State of Georgia procurement, Douglas County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County), and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections), with additional activity in Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Illinois (State of Illinois IVHQ). School nutrition programs and state correctional systems drive the bulk of solicitation volume. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Addendum No. 2 extension of IFB 304T-26-300CF to May 4, 2026, for approximately 382 cafeteria food line items with firm fixed pricing to six TDCJ distribution points; the Rockwood R-VI School District's April 29, 2026 electronic bid submission deadline for over 900 grocery items via NUTRIKIDS system; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 issued through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. Firms pursuing this code should monitor school district master grocery contracts, state corrections food procurement, and CACFP meal program solicitations where dried mushrooms and other specialty vegetables appear as line-item components within broader institutional food supply bundles.
