UNSPSC 50464809: Canned or jarred lobster mushrooms

The variety of mushrooms known as lobster mushrooms that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50464809 Canned or jarred lobster mushrooms is a Commodity code capturing a narrow product line that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service supply contracts, though recent activity shows minimal direct solicitation specifically for this item. The code sees application primarily through school district nutrition programs, state institutional food service operations, and corrections departments that issue consolidated food procurement opportunities encompassing dozens or hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, canned goods, and specialty items; canned mushrooms appear as one component within these larger aggregated buys rather than as standalone requisitions. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies supplying supported living centers and hospitals, and school districts ranging from single-county systems to large regional cooperative purchasing groups, with school nutrition programs emerging as the dominant buyer category across the sample period.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast and upper Midwest, with strong recent procurement momentum in Georgia (multiple school districts including Savannah-Chatham, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Douglas County), Texas (state health and human services statewide facilities), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and Illinois (Veterans Homes). Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center posted June 11, 2026, with response due July 13, 2026, covering multiple NIGP commodity classes under firm fixed unit pricing; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution points, originally due April 21, 2026, extended to May 4, 2026, encompassing approximately 382 line items at FOB Destination terms; and the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services grocery procurement split into two electronic-bid opportunities for approximately 200 NOI items and over 900 grocery items due April 29, 2026, requiring NUTRIKIDS format submission. Canned mushrooms, when included, are typically one item among many in product schedules requiring firm pricing, USDA compliance, specific shelf-life minimums (commonly twelve months), and delivery to centralized warehouses or direct school locations on weekly or as-ordered bases.
