UNSPSC 50484809: Lobster mushroom purees

The variety of mushrooms known as lobster mushrooms which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484809 Lobster mushroom purees is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement systems with minimal recent activity directly matching its narrow product scope. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily institutional food service operators—state health and human services agencies, county and city departments, school districts, and correctional facilities—procuring consumable food products for canteens, cafeterias, and on-campus dining. The recent opportunities tagged to this code, however, show little evidence that lobster mushroom purees themselves are being solicited; instead, the opportunities reflect broad food service procurement for prepared foods, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, canned goods, condiments, and food service supplies across multiple jurisdictions. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, and Ben Hill County Schools have each posted food service RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs in the past four months, but none of the posted line-item details or scope summaries name mushroom purees of any variety as a line item or requirement.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (multiple HHS solicitations for state-supported living centers and state hospitals), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and the State of Georgia), and Oregon (Department of Corrections canned tomato procurement). The representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center with response due October 23, 2026, covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; and Ben Hill County Schools' food bid for the 2026–2027 school year due June 15, 2026. The code shows little recent relevant activity—the mismatch between the Commodity name and actual solicitation scope suggests that either this code is seldom applied to state and local food service procurement or that opportunities are being misclassified in the source data.
