UNSPSC 50484816: Shiitake mushroom purees

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

UNSPSC 50484816 Shiitake mushroom purees (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a single processed-food product—is not represented in the opportunities surveyed. Recent solicitations under codes tagged for food procurement span instead broad categories of shelf-stable and prepared foods, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and consumable food-service supplies for institutional feeding operations, particularly state hospitals, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, and school districts. When state and local agencies procure mushrooms or mushroom derivatives at all, they typically bundle them into general food commodity bids rather than isolate a single ingredient. The mismatch between the narrow commodity definition and the real structure of institutional food procurement suggests that shiitake mushroom purees, if purchased by state or local bodies at all, are acquired through broader competitive processes coded to parent-level food families or aggregated food-supply contracts rather than to this discrete commodity code.

Recent activity across the broader food-procurement landscape shows Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), and the State of Illinois all soliciting food and consumable supplies via IFB, RFQ, or informal written quotes. Texas dominates the recent-opportunity set, with at least four separate IFBs posted since May 2026 for state hospitals and supported living centers, while Georgia school districts account for three active bids. Oregon and Illinois each show one opportunity. Most contracts require FOB Destination delivery within 7 to 72 hours of order, firm pricing on a per-unit basis, and vendor references demonstrating prior performance on similar-sized contracts. No shiitake mushroom puree opportunities appear in this dataset. Unless procurement offices reclassify this code or a specific institutional buyer launches a targeted bid for the product, the code shows no actionable recent activity.
