UNSPSC 50444811: Frozen oyster mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50444811 Frozen oyster mushrooms is a Commodity code that does not match the recent state and local opportunities in the dataset. The most recent solicitations posted under or near this code encompass frozen corn, frozen potatoes (french fries and wedges), frozen mixed vegetables, frozen carrots, and frozen assorted vegetable blends — but none specifically reference oyster mushrooms or other specialty mushroom products. State and local procurement activity in the frozen vegetable space focuses on high-volume institutional staples: frozen corn, carrots, mixed vegetable blends, and potato products purchased by correctional facilities, school districts, health and human services agencies, and other state entities. Issuing bodies include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Fairfax County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools, Rockwood School District, and numerous other state departments and county or municipal school boards. The geographic spread is broad — Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Illinois, and Virginia have all posted recent frozen-vegetable and broad grocery solicitations in the past five months.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the activity pattern: the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs in July 2026 for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet corn (due July 24, 2026) and 120,000 pounds of frozen potato products (due July 24, 2026), both with Oregon state preference and delivery to Salem; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB in June 2026 for food and consumable products including frozen items for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), with a historical contract value of $1.5 million; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products in May 2026 spanning approximately 382 line items of proteins, frozen entrees, and staples across five geographic distribution points (response deadline extended to May 4, 2026). The code itself shows minimal recent activity specifically for frozen oyster mushrooms; state and local procurement under frozen-vegetable commodity codes prioritizes commodity-grade frozen vegetables (carrots, corn, peas, broccoli, mixed blends) at high volumes rather than specialty fungal products.
