UNSPSC 50444802: Frozen brown mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50444802 Frozen brown mushrooms is a Commodity code capturing a narrow food product line that state and local governments source for institutional food service operations — primarily correctional facilities, school districts, and health and human services facilities. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code is minimal; the opportunities block contains no active solicitations specifically for frozen brown mushrooms. Instead, the most recent opportunities tagged to food-service procurement show frozen vegetables more broadly (carrots, assorted blends, corn, potatoes) and comprehensive grocery-line awards for correctional institutions and schools, within which frozen mushrooms may appear as a line item among dozens or hundreds of other food products.

Issuing bodies pursuing frozen-vegetable and institutional food procurements span state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county and municipal correctional facilities (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), school districts across multiple states (Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, Virginia), and regional cooperatives serving school nutrition programs. Oregon DOC, Texas TDCJ, and Texas HHSC emerge as repeat buyers of frozen vegetables on competitive ITB and IFB cycles. The geographic concentration appears strongest in the South and Southwest — Georgia, Texas, and Pennsylvania — with secondary activity in Oregon, Missouri, and Connecticut. Recent opportunities show Oregon, Texas, and Georgia school districts and state agencies issuing frozen-vegetable ITBs and comprehensive food IFBs monthly from February through July 2026, with response cycles typically 4–6 weeks. Frozen-mushroom sourcing, when it occurs, is typically embedded within larger master grocery contracts or line-item food procurements rather than standalone solicitations; the code shows little independent buying momentum at present.
