UNSPSC 50464815: Canned or jarred portobella mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50464815 Canned or jarred portobella mushrooms is a Commodity code encompassing shelf-stable prepared mushroom products for institutional food service. State and local opportunities solicited under this code reflect broader food procurement by health and human services departments, state correctional and supported living facilities, school districts, and county nutrition programs—few solicitations name portobella mushrooms specifically, but canned and jarred vegetables including mushrooms appear as line items within comprehensive food service bids. The work involves supplying institutional kitchens, cafeterias, and canteens with prepared vegetable products that meet USDA grading standards, federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act compliance, shelf-life minimums (typically 12 months), proper labeling, and delivery within 7 to 30 days of order. Vendors typically must price items on a per-unit or per-case basis, absorb all freight and fuel surcharges in FOB Destination pricing, maintain commercial general liability insurance of $500,000 or higher, and comply with state procurement regulations including E-Verify employment verification, debarment certifications, and anti-collusion affidavits.

Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, and school districts in Georgia and other states drive the bulk of recent activity. Texas HHSC has posted multiple comprehensive food and consumable solicitations for state supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso (HHS0017872 in August 2026 and HHS0017449 in June 2026, both IFB notices), the Oregon Department of Corrections sought approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026 (S2910000017145, IFB, due June 19, 2026), and school nutrition programs including Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Burke County Public Schools solicited broad food procurement packages containing dozens of canned or preserved vegetable line items in May and June 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional solicitation activity in Illinois. Representative opportunities include Texas HHS IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, consumables and food service supplies, response due October 23, 2026) and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables, response due October 19, 2026). Pricing competitiveness and demonstrated ability to meet recurring institutional delivery schedules remain primary evaluation factors.
