UNSPSC 50474816: Canned or jarred organic shiitake mushrooms

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

UNSPSC 50474816 Canned or jarred organic shiitake mushrooms is a Commodity code that describes specialty preserved mushroom products; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code show minimal direct procurement of organic shiitake mushrooms specifically. Instead, state and local governments are soliciting broad consumable and food-service supply categories where canned or jarred mushrooms may be included as line items among dozens or hundreds of other shelf-stable food products, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and food-service supplies. The issuing bodies span Texas state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia counties and school districts (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Oregon state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Oregon Department of Corrections), Illinois state government, and independent school districts across multiple states. Texas state-supported living centers and state hospitals represent the most active repeat buyers, appearing in at least three recent solicitations for broad food and consumable products.

Recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies with estimated annual quantities of 1 to 24 cases per item; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (response due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a previous purchase price of $13.75 per case in February 2026 and delivery to Salem, Oregon; and the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic TDCJ warehouse locations, with response due May 4, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional recent solicitations from Illinois. Canned or jarred organic shiitake mushrooms as a distinct line item do not appear in any of the posted summaries; vendors pursuing this code should anticipate competing as part of larger food-service supply contracts where organic or specialty items may be included at the buyer's discretion among broader commodity requirements.
