UNSPSC 50454805: Frozen organic cremini mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50454805 Frozen organic cremini mushrooms, a Commodity-level code, represents a narrow product line within school nutrition and institutional food service procurement. State and local governments purchase frozen organic cremini mushrooms as components of broader fresh and frozen produce, dairy, and grocery item bundles serving school lunch and breakfast programs, though the code itself does not appear as a standalone line item in recent solicitations. Instead, frozen mushrooms and other specialty vegetables surface within comprehensive food procurement RFPs and IFBs that bundle dozens or hundreds of line items—fresh produce, frozen vegetables, dairy, proteins, grains, and condiments—into single competitive awards. School districts and state purchasing offices dominate this segment; the recent activity includes Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Dallas Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia), with Georgia and Texas showing the strongest concentration of recent activity.

Recent procurement activity under related codes shows school districts issuing RFPs and IFBs with response dates spanning February through June 2026. The Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (due June 8, 2026) encompasses approximately 300+ food items across meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. City Schools of Decatur's Frozen Foods and Grocery IFB (due May 15, 2026) targets ten school sites and requires compliance with HACCP, 24/7 food recall accessibility, and low-sodium / zero trans-fat specifications. Douglas County School System's Fresh Produce and Eggs RFP (due March 4, 2026) through the GEC Buying Cooperative serves 30 school districts across Georgia with approximately $4.4 million estimated spending for Area One. Frozen mushrooms, when purchased, typically arrive as part of these line-item food service contracts and must meet USDA compliance, food safety standards, and delivery requirements to designated school warehouse or site locations. No solicitation explicitly lists frozen organic cremini mushrooms by UNSPSC code or as a separately bid item in the recent opportunities reviewed.
