UNSPSC 50434821: Dried organic woodear mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50434821 Dried organic woodear mushrooms is a Commodity code that does not show recent relevant state and local procurement activity. The single opportunity coded to this line item — a July 2026 CACFP meal program RFP from the City of Edinburg, Texas — specifies broad food and nonfood categories (beverages, paper goods, proteins, cheese, breads, fruits, vegetables, snacks, janitorial supplies, and miscellaneous nonfood items) with no mention of mushrooms, dried or fresh. The remaining nine opportunities in the dataset involve dried beans, fresh produce, cafeteria staples, grocery items for school nutrition and corrections programs, and warehouse food distribution — none of which reference dried organic woodear mushrooms specifically.

The mismatch suggests either miscoding of the Edinburg opportunity or minimal real-world demand for this commodity under state and local procurement channels. Buyers in this space — school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), state corrections departments (Oregon, Texas), and municipal nutrition programs — are soliciting dried legumes, fresh produce, and mainstream cafeteria staples on a regular basis, but dried specialty mushrooms do not appear among recent line items. A vendor pursuing this code should confirm current procurement demand directly with state food service procurement offices and school nutrition directors before building a pursuit strategy.
