UNSPSC 50464817: Canned or jarred shimeji mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50464817 Canned or jarred shimeji mushrooms is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within the broader food procurement ecosystem. State and local governments procure this item as part of institutional food supply contracts for schools, corrections facilities, health and human services agencies, and veterans' homes, typically bundled within large food service RFQs, RFPs, and IFBs rather than as standalone line items. While the recent opportunities block shows no dedicated solicitation for shimeji mushrooms specifically, the code sits within broader canned-goods and specialty-produce categories that state and local nutrition programs source regularly — the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home, and Georgia school districts all issued major food procurement notices between January and June 2026 that encompass canned mushrooms and similar shelf-stable specialty produce alongside core protein, vegetable, and grain categories. Issuing bodies span school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County and Rockwood school districts in Missouri, Liberty County and Muscogee County school systems in Georgia, and Savannah-Chatham County schools), state corrections departments (Oregon DOC, Texas TDCJ), state health agencies (Texas HHSC, DSHS), and veterans' facilities (Illinois Veterans Home). Repeat buyers include Texas HHSC, which issued at least two separate supplemental food and consumable solicitations with 210+ line items each, and multiple Georgia school districts cycling annual food bids.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast, particularly Georgia (five school district solicitations posted between February and June 2026) and Texas (HHSC, DSHS, TDCJ solicitations spanning January through June). Oregon DOC and Illinois Veterans Home represent significant upper-Midwest and plains procurement. Representative recent opportunities illustrate the bundling pattern: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 posted June 11, 2026, sought food and consumable products including canned goods for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with questions due June 22 and proposals due July 13, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. Central Time under firm, fixed unit-rate pricing; the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0016792 (posted February 26, 2026, with bid deadline extended via addendum to February 23, 2026) covered 210 line items of supplemental foods and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB (posted April 6, 2026, bids due April 27 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern) required bidders to supply a minimum of 76 items from a multi-hundred-line portfolio to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens with firm, fixed F.O.B. Destination pricing for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Canned mushrooms would compete on price and compliance within these large, consolidated line-item submissions; the code shows activity but no standalone demand signal.
