UNSPSC 50484800: Mushroom purees

which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484800 Mushroom purees is a Class code that covers fresh, frozen, and processed mushroom-based products procured by state and local governments for food service operations. In practice, the code sees limited independent demand; mushroom products appear as line items within broader food and consumables solicitations rather than as standalone procurements. State and local buyers purchasing under this code include state health and human services agencies operating state-supported living centers and state hospitals, state correctional departments, county and municipal food service operations, and school districts sourcing for cafeteria programs. The most active buyers are the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (which has issued multiple solicitations for mixed food and consumable products including mushroom items) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division). School districts in Georgia and other states also solicit food products that would fall under this code as part of larger nutrition program bids.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with the heaviest concentration in Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, due March 19, 2026, which encompassed 210 line items including mushroom-based products and carried a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products for five TDCJ warehouse locations across Texas, due May 4, 2026, covering approximately 382 line items with firm fixed pricing on an FOB Destination basis; and Ben Hill County Schools' school nutrition food bid in Georgia, due June 15, 2026, sourcing food products for four schools under the Buy American Act with quarterly pricing adjustments permitted. Most state and local solicitations request firm fixed pricing on FOB Destination terms with delivery within seven days of order receipt, require minimum three years of verifiable references, and mandate compliance with federal food safety standards, E-Verify employment verification, and debarment certifications. No recent standalone mushroom puree procurement has been posted; mushroom products are acquired as components of larger mixed-food contracts.
