UNSPSC 50434819: Dried organic white mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50434819 Dried organic white mushrooms is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities solicited under it are not aligned with that scope—state and local governments are instead procuring dried beans of various types (kidney beans, pinto and red beans, black beans) and broader food-supply bundles for institutional meal programs, correctional facilities, and child care programs. The issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state procurement offices (Illinois, Oregon), municipal agencies (City of Edinburg, Texas), and institutional food service programs serving children and incarcerated populations. Dried legumes are purchased in bulk for high-volume institutional cooking, with specifications typically requiring USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning to remove contaminants, moisture-content limits, and documented compliance with FDA and HACCP requirements. Deliveries are FOB destination to central distribution centers or meal sites, with all-inclusive pricing incorporating freight, handling, and fuel surcharges.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited bids for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140) due June 19, 2026, with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered vendors and a historical purchase price of $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA; the State of Oregon issued a separate IFB for triple-cleaned dried black beans (S2910000017705) due August 21, 2026 for institutional use. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans (92100ERFQ0020612027) due October 9, 2026, in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive delivery pricing. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited RFP responses for a Child and Adult Care Food Program supply contract (RFP2026017) due August 4, 2026, covering beverages, paper goods, proteins, vegetables, fruits, snacks, and janitorial supplies for 400 children, with a Texas local-vendor preference applying to bidders within 5% of the lowest price. These solicitations show steady demand for bulk dried legumes and institutional food supplies, though the code's nominal scope (organic white mushrooms) does not match the work actually being bought.
