UNSPSC 50484816: Shiitake mushroom purees

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

UNSPSC 50484816 Shiitake mushroom purees is a Commodity code that sees minimal state and local procurement activity grounded in actual recent solicitations. The code's nominal scope—specialty mushroom purees—does not align with the diverse food procurement opportunities posted under this classification in the source records; instead, the tagged opportunities reflect broad food service purchasing for schools, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers covering produce, proteins, dairy, prepared entrees, and consumable supplies across hundreds of line items per solicitation. State and local buyers using this code tag include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System, Ben Hill County Schools, Muscogee County School District), state correctional and health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple districts (GEC Buying Cooperative). Geographic spread spans Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia based on recent postings.

Representative recent opportunities reflect a mismatch between the UNSPSC code and actual procurement scope. The State of Illinois solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home Quincy (RFQ 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) covering brand-specific or equivalent proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and vegetables. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products across NIGP classes 385, 390, 380, and 393 to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical annual value of $1.5 million. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026) with five percent preferences for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) solicited Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring weekly delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens, with evaluation based on total cost per serving over one year and a minimum three-year vendor experience requirement. School nutrition programs across Georgia and Missouri dominate the recent activity, with multiple concurrent food bids from Liberty County, Muscogee County, Burke County, and Rockwood School Districts posted in March and April 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to shiitake mushroom purees specifically; the tag appears to reflect general food commodity classification rather than ingredient-level procurement targeting specialty mushroom products.
