UNSPSC 50444800: Frozen mushrooms

The type of vegetable known as mushrooms that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50444800 Frozen mushrooms is a Class code that encompasses a narrow product category—frozen mushroom products in various forms—but the recent opportunities block shows no state or local solicitations specifically requesting frozen mushrooms. The recent opportunities instead feature broad institutional food procurements where frozen mushrooms may appear as a line item alongside dozens of other commodities. State and local governments purchase frozen mushrooms primarily as part of comprehensive food service contracts for correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, school districts, and senior services programs. These procurements typically bundle frozen mushrooms with frozen vegetables, proteins, dairy, condiments, and dry goods under unified IFB or RFQ notices rather than as standalone commodity purchases. Issuing bodies include state departments (corrections, health and human services, transportation), county purchasing offices (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania; Gwinnett County, Georgia), school districts (Burke County, Early County, Ben Hill County in Georgia; Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and state-operated institutional facilities. The code sees activity from Texas, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, and New Jersey, with Texas showing the highest recent volume through HHSC and TDCJ institutional food service procurements.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017338 for frozen food products across state hospitals and supported living centers (posted July 17, 2026, bids due August 18, 2026) covering 106 line items of frozen specialty foods with an estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017692 for assorted frozen vegetables including broccoli, corn, green beans, and mixed vegetable blends totaling 360,000 pounds (posted August 6, 2026, bids due August 20, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food procurement spanning fresh and frozen produce across four school locations (posted May 19, 2026, bids due June 15, 2026). Frozen mushrooms do not surface as a named line item in the recent opportunities available, indicating the code may see limited standalone solicitation activity and that buyers typically source frozen mushrooms as part of broader produce or specialty food contracts where mushrooms compete against other vegetables for inclusion.
