UNSPSC 50444819: Frozen white mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50444819 Frozen white mushrooms is a Commodity code that classifies a single frozen vegetable product line. State and local government procurement under this code actually consists of frozen produce bids spanning broader vegetable assortments—carrots, corn, mixed vegetables, broccoli, cauliflower, and specialty blends—rather than white mushrooms specifically. The recent opportunities show that corrections departments, school districts, and health and human services agencies purchase frozen vegetables in volume as part of institutional food service contracts. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC), county school systems (Bulloch County, Burke County, Early County, Douglas County in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham, Decatur in Georgia; Fairfax County in Virginia; Rockwood in Missouri), municipal school districts (Dallas ISD, Bridgeport Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur), and county correctional facilities (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania). Repeat buyers in the recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections, which issued multiple ITBs for frozen vegetables between February and July 2026, and various Georgia school districts conducting annual or multi-year food procurement cycles.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Texas, and Georgia, with secondary activity in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017451 for 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet corn at $0.498 per pound (last purchase, August 2025 pricing from Alpine Food), due July 24, 2026; the same agency's ITB S2910000017439 for 120,000 pounds of frozen potato products at $0.3811 per pound (last awarded to JNS Foods, January 2026), also due July 24, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including frozen vegetables with a historical contract value of $1.5 million, due July 13, 2026; and Bridgeport Board of Education BNB052266 for grocery items spanning frozen products under Buy American requirements, due June 30, 2026. Pricing for frozen vegetables typically runs $0.30 to $0.70 per pound depending on product type, case size, and location. All solicitations require FOB destination delivery, firm fixed pricing inclusive of transportation and fuel, minimum six-month shelf life at delivery, FDA/USDA compliance, and HACCP or food safety plan documentation. Oregon offers 5–10 percent state-vendor preference; Texas and Georgia school districts apply Buy American provisions. Contract terms generally run 12 months with renewal or extension options. Most awards are made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.
