UNSPSC 50454804: Frozen organic chanterelle mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50454804 Frozen organic chanterelle mushrooms is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within broader food procurement — in practice, state and local governments buy frozen organic specialty mushrooms as part of larger food-service contracts for schools, senior programs, and institutional kitchens. The recent solicitations under this code show that frozen specialty mushrooms appear as line items within comprehensive food bids rather than as standalone procurements; they are typically bundled with shelf-stable proteins, vegetables, grains, and other kitchen staples for use in meal programs. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state departments of administration (State of Georgia), and school district boards of education (Early County Board of Education). The work involves responding to line-item food bids with competitive pricing, meeting food-safety documentation requirements such as HACCP plans and recall procedures, complying with Buy American sourcing preferences where required, and delivering products on tight schedules to institutional kitchens and senior-service facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of food items including shelf-stable products for the Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 19, 2026, delivered to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026. The State of Georgia issued a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026, with full scope and item quantities in the attached solicitation document. Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line bids for 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with bids due June 8, 2026; the district emphasized domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Award criteria across all three opportunities emphasize lowest responsive and responsible bidder status based on unit-of-measure pricing, vendor references, compliance with worker verification and debarment requirements, and food-safety certifications.
