UNSPSC 50454816: Frozen organic shiitake mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50454816 Frozen organic shiitake mushrooms is a Commodity code identifying a single product line — frozen organic shiitake mushrooms — that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service contracting. The code sees use primarily by school districts, county human-services departments, and state procurement offices buying shelf-stable and perishable food items for meal programs, senior services, and institutional feeding. Recent opportunities show that frozen organic shiitake mushrooms, when sought at all, are sourced as line items within larger food-bid packages rather than as standalone purchases. State and local issuing bodies procure frozen organic produce — including frozen mushrooms — as components of meal-service contracts that bundle proteins, vegetables, grains, dairy, and condiments under single awards or split awards by line item to minimize total food-service cost. The typical solicitation uses RFQ or IFB notice types with line-by-line pricing, unit-of-measure evaluation, and delivery schedules tied to meal-service calendars or funding deadlines.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with three posted opportunities spanning state-level food procurement, county human-services contracting, and school-district meal-service bidding between May and October 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) on October 13, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services delivery by December 7, 2026, with quotes due October 19, 2026; the scope listed 35 line items of canned and dry goods but did not explicitly name frozen mushrooms. Early County Board of Education posted FY27 Food Bid solicitation PE55045NONST2027000000006 on May 11, 2026, seeking line-by-line bids for 300+ food items (including vegetables, fruits, and miscellaneous products) and 60 non-food supplies for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs across three schools, with bids due June 8, 2026 and award approximately 60 days after bid opening; the solicitation emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives.
