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, a Commodity code, describes specialty preserved fungi that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service operations — state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. Recent solicitations show that canned and jarred mushrooms fall within larger food consumables contracts spanning dozens or hundreds of line items, where they appear as discretionary specialty items rather than staple provisions. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies, state departments of corrections, county school districts, county social services departments, and county commissioners' offices. Texas Health and Human Services Commission is a standout repeat buyer, with at least three recent IFBs for supplemental and consumables food products serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. School districts in Georgia and other states solicit food procurement bids that encompass canned vegetables, proteins, and specialty items as part of comprehensive nutrition program contracts; these buyers typically specify line-item counts in the hundreds and emphasize USDA grade compliance, sodium content limits, shelf-life requirements, and delivery windows.

Recent solicitations cluster in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables (210 line items, $4.5 million potential value over three years, due March 19, 2026) and subsequent IFBs for state-supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso. Gwinnett County, Georgia, requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools sought sealed bids for school nutrition food covering multiple categories (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division bid approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, prior purchase $13.75 per case). Response dates range from May through October 2026, with most institutional food procurements structured as annual contracts running fiscal-year or calendar-year cycles. Delivery terms across solicitations are F.O.B. Destination with 72-hour to 30-day fulfillment windows, and all bidders must comply with E-Verify, debarment certification, HACCP plans where applicable, and Buy American provisions for school nutrition programs.
