UNSPSC 50454812: Frozen organic pleurotus mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50454812 Frozen organic pleurotus mushrooms, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement but does not appear frequently in recent solicitations. The code nominally identifies a single ingredient—frozen organic oyster mushrooms—yet state and local issuing bodies typically procure this item as one line among dozens or hundreds within broader food-supply contracts. Recent opportunities show that county governments, school districts, and state agencies source food through consolidated solicitations that bundle shelf-stable proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and ancillary supplies rather than as discrete commodity buys. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of food items for the Department of Community Services illustrates this pattern: the scope encompasses 35 line items of shelf-stable products—peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables—with frozen organic mushrooms, if included, listed as one among many options. Early County Board of Education's June 2026 food-bid solicitation similarly consolidated 300+ food items (meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments) with 60 non-food supplies, all subject to USDA sourcing and nutritional preferences, into a single line-by-line bid structure.

Georgia represents the primary geographic concentration in recent activity, with both Gwinnett County (a large suburban jurisdiction) and Early County schools posting solicitations in 2026; the State of Georgia itself issued a statewide food-supplies bid in May 2026, though its full scope remains contained in an attached document not publicly detailed. The issuing-body mix spans county administrative departments (Gwinnett Community Services), school districts (Early County and statewide Georgia procurement for school meal programs), and state purchasing offices. Response dates ranged from May through October 2026, with delivery windows typically requiring fulfillment by December or the start of the fiscal school year (July 1). Frozen organic mushrooms, when present, appear as a minor line item within these consolidated food-supply awards rather than as a standalone category driving procurement decisions. Vendors pursuing this code should expect to bid as part of multi-item food-service packages rather than single-product transactions and should anticipate competitive pressure from established food distributors with established relationships to county and school procurement offices.
