UNSPSC 50444812: Frozen pleurotus mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50444812 Frozen pleurotus mushrooms, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code include solicitations for frozen corn, frozen potatoes, groceries spanning multiple categories, software licensing, educational materials, bridge maintenance, and food supplies for correctional facilities and school districts—none of which involve pleurotus mushrooms or specialty mushroom products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual goods being procured suggests either classification error at the point of posting or minimal demand for frozen pleurotus mushrooms in state and local supply chains.

State and local buyers posting opportunities in this code range widely: the Oregon Department of Corrections, the City of Bridgeport Board of Education, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the Texas Department of Transportation, the Illinois state system, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts across Georgia (Bulloch County, Early County, Burke County), and counties in Pennsylvania and Missouri. When frozen vegetables are actually solicited—as in Oregon Department of Corrections' frozen corn ITB S2910000017451 (due Jul 24, 2026) or frozen assorted vegetables ITB S2910000016558 (due Apr 22, 2026)—the focus is on commodity staples like corn, carrots, broccoli, peas, and mixed blends rather than specialty items. School nutrition programs and correctional facilities dominate the buyer base. The geographic spread spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Connecticut, Illinois, and multiple other states, but activity clusters in states with large institutional food-service networks (corrections, schools, health facilities). No recent posted opportunities show demand specifically for frozen pleurotus mushrooms; pursue only if you have relationships with specialized institutional food buyers or can position the product as a specialty component within broader fresh or frozen produce bids.
