UNSPSC 50444814: Frozen porcieni mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50444814 Frozen porcini mushrooms, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local contract activity posted under this classification. The source contains no recent solicitations requesting frozen porcini mushrooms or specialty mushroom products; instead, the opportunities tagged to this code overwhelmingly solicit broad-based institutional food procurement—shelf-stable groceries, frozen vegetables, meats, dairy, prepared entrees, and disposables for correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, senior services programs, and school nutrition programs across multiple states. The code shows minimal to no relevant recent activity.

State and local food procurement under misclassified or imprecise codes typically spans school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools), county governments (Gwinnett County, Montgomery County Pennsylvania), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Human Services), and correctional and health facilities. Recent opportunities from Texas HHSC alone account for multiple concurrent solicitations for frozen food products, canteen groceries, and supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers across Texas. Geographic representation includes Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey, and surrounding jurisdictions. Representative solicitations include the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017338 (frozen food products with estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million and maximum potential value of $19 million over the full contract period, responses due August 18, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017692 (frozen assorted vegetables totaling 360,000 pounds—broccoli, vegetable blends, corn, and green beans—responses due August 20, 2026), and Gwinnett County's informal written quote IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, quotes due October 19, 2026). The code itself warrants monitoring only if future postings correctly tag specialty mushroom procurement; current activity does not justify pursuit.
