UNSPSC 50444815: Frozen portobella mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50444815 Frozen portobella mushrooms is a Commodity code that nominally names a single fresh or frozen fungal product, but state and local solicitations tagged with this code show little activity aligned to portobella mushrooms specifically. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for portobella mushrooms or even mushroom products generally; instead, the tagged records span frozen mixed vegetables, frozen corn, frozen assorted vegetables, frozen carrots, fresh produce, eggs, groceries spanning broad categories, and food service supplies. The code's nominal scope does not match the work actually being procured under its designation in the available opportunities. State and local procurement offices issuing food service contracts — including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts across Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, and county governments — do systematically buy frozen vegetables and fresh produce, but the recent solicitations under this code do not isolate portobella mushrooms or establish a distinct procurement stream for this commodity.

The code shows no meaningful recent activity targeting portobella mushrooms specifically. Most recent opportunities in the dataset involve frozen commodity vegetables (carrots, corn, mixed assorted blends, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, and green beans) procured by state correctional and health agencies and school nutrition programs on a recurring basis, typically through ITB or IFB notice types with response dates spanning February through July 2026, often with state or local preferences (Oregon's 5–10 percent in-state preference, Texas HUB set-asides, Buy American provisions for school nutrition). If pursuing portobella mushroom procurement specifically, verify that end-user agencies have identified this product in their actual RFPs or master grocery agreements rather than relying on the UNSPSC code assignment alone, as the tagging mismatch suggests classification error or legacy tagging rather than an active demand signal.
