UNSPSC 50464800: Canned or jarred mushrooms

The type of vegetable known as mushrooms that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50464800 Canned or jarred mushrooms is a Class code covering preserved mushroom products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs, state health and human services facilities, and correctional institutions. Recent solicitations show that while mushrooms appear as line items within broader food procurement categories, they are rarely solicited as standalone commodity purchases—instead, mushrooms are part of larger weekly or annual food supply contracts alongside proteins, produce, dairy, and pantry staples. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, multiple Georgia school districts, and Illinois Veterans Home have all posted food procurement opportunities in the past six months where canned or jarred mushrooms could be supplied as part of comprehensive food-service bids, but none of the recent opportunities specifically isolate mushroom products as a distinct line item or contract vehicle.

School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, with Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all issuing multi-category food bids where mushrooms would be embedded within broader vegetable or canned-goods categories. State agencies and state-supported facilities—particularly Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Illinois Veterans Home—represent a secondary but consistent buyer base. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, with multiple school districts), Texas, Oregon, and the Midwest (Missouri, Illinois, Virginia); no recent solicitations sourcing mushrooms specifically by UNSPSC code or as a standalone line item are present in the dataset. The representative recent opportunity is the Texas HHSC supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) soliciting 210 line items for state-supported living centers statewide under fixed firm pricing with quarterly reporting requirements, which would accommodate mushroom product bids as part of a broader canned-goods category rather than as a distinct mushroom-focused procurement.
