UNSPSC 50464811: Canned or jarred oyster mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50464811 Canned or jarred oyster mushrooms is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct procurement activity under its specific classification; recent state and local opportunities do not solicit oyster mushrooms as a standalone product line. The code sits within a broader food-service procurement ecosystem where state agencies, school districts, and human services entities source canned and jarred produce as line items within large multi-category food bids, but oyster mushrooms do not appear as a named commodity in the available recent solicitations. When canned produce items do surface in state and local RFPs and IFBs, they typically appear as one of dozens or hundreds of line items in comprehensive grocery or food-supply contracts rather than as dedicated single-commodity procurements. Issuing bodies include school nutrition programs (elementary through high schools), state corrections departments, state supported living centers, veterans homes, and municipal purchasing offices. These entities handle food procurement through competitive IFBs and RFPs with firm fixed-price or cost-plus-fee structures, requiring vendors to meet USDA grade standards, food safety certifications (HACCP), Buy American Act compliance where applicable, and delivery schedules ranging from weekly to as-needed ordering.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri, driven primarily by school district nutrition programs and state human services facilities. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's HHS0017449 (food and consumables for El Paso State Supported Living Center, IFB, due July 13, 2026), which covers 210 line items with a historical value of $1.5 million annually; the Oregon Department of Corrections' procurement of canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, ITB, due June 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools' food bid (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026), requiring hundreds of line-item quotes across produce, dairy, seasonings, and kitchen supplies; and multiple Georgia school districts (Douglas County, Burke County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham) issuing RFPs and IFBs for comprehensive annual food supply covering July 2026 through June 2027 periods. Mushrooms, when specified at all, appear buried within broader canned-vegetable or specialty-produce sections rather than as isolated requisitions, suggesting limited near-term pursuit opportunity under this specific code unless bundled within larger food-service vehicles or cooperative purchasing arrangements.
