UNSPSC 50444801: Frozen black trumpet mushrooms

The variety of mushrooms known as black trumpet mushrooms that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50444801 Frozen black trumpet mushrooms is a Commodity code that, despite its narrow title, maps to a broad institutional food procurement category. State and local governments are buying frozen vegetables and specialty food items for cafeteria, food service, and nutrition assistance operations under this code—not exclusively or even primarily black trumpet mushrooms, but rather commodity-level frozen produce, fresh and processed proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and related food service consumables supporting school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, senior services, and state-supported food distribution networks. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Early County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), counties (Gwinnett County, Montgomery County), and special-purpose nutrition programs. School districts and state health and corrections agencies appear repeatedly in the recent-opportunity block, indicating consistent, high-volume demand across education and institutional care sectors.

Geographically, recent activity concentrates in Texas (multiple HHSC procurements, TDCJ, Texas Comptroller), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Early County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools), Oregon (Department of Corrections, multiple frozen vegetable bids), Pennsylvania (Montgomery County Correctional Facility), and Illinois (state veterans homes). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable and frozen food items due October 19, 2026, with delivery required by December 7, 2026; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017338 for 106 line items of frozen food products (baked goods, prepared entrees, proteins, vegetables) with estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million and bids due August 18, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017692 for 360,000 pounds of frozen vegetables (broccoli, assorted blends, corn, green beans) with bids due August 20, 2026 and a 10 percent Oregon preference available; and Burke County Public Schools' sealed bid for nearly 400 line items of groceries, proteins, frozen vegetables, and dairy supporting five schools, with bids due June 5, 2026. Food delivery windows typically span 7 to 72 hours after order receipt; pricing is firm fixed on a per-unit basis with FOB Destination standard; and awards emphasize lowest responsive, responsible bidder or best value to the procuring entity.
