UNSPSC 50464810: Canned or jarred morels mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50464810 Canned or jarred morels mushrooms is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure specialty food products for institutional food service operations, though recent solicitations show this specific item receives minimal direct procurement activity — the recent opportunities block contains no dedicated solicitations for morels mushrooms alone. Instead, state and local buyers tag broader food-procurement categories with this code while actually sourcing canned mushrooms as line items within comprehensive grocery and food-supply contracts for correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. When morels appear in solicitations, they arrive as one of hundreds of line items in master grocery bids rather than as standalone procurements, indicating that this Commodity code sees activity primarily through aggregated food-service contracts rather than single-product buys.

State departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, and school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Texas, and Virginia dominate recent solicitation volume for institutional food products generally. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections each issue multiple recurring procurements for canned and preserved food products; school districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County, Burke County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI) solicit comprehensive annual grocery contracts; and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia and the Illinois Veterans Home each post significant food-supply opportunities. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016089 for tomato paste (due March 9, 2026, awarded on line-item basis to lowest responsive bid), and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products spanning multiple categories including canned goods (due June 15, 2026). These procurements reflect the actual buying pattern: morels mushrooms, when purchased, arrive as part of bulk food-service contracts evaluated on price and specification compliance rather than as dedicated specialty-item procurements, making the code's activity tied to the broader institutional food-supply market rather than specialty-mushroom demand.
