UNSPSC 50494703: Organic champignon or white mushroom purees

The variety of organic mushrooms known as organic champinion mushrooms which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50494703 Organic champignon or white mushroom purees (Commodity) appears in state and local food-service procurement primarily as one line item among broader consumable-food solicitations for institutional dining, rather than as a standalone product category. Recent opportunities show this code tagged to multi-line-item bids for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services, where mushroom purees compete with dozens of other prepared and shelf-stable food products. The work being solicited is institutional food supply — frozen and refrigerated proteins, prepared entrees, produce, dairy, condiments, and packaging — where mushroom purees represent a minor commodity within much larger food-service contracts. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC, Illinois), state corrections agencies (Oregon DOC, Texas TDCJ), county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Gwinnett County), and standalone state institutions (Lufkin State Supported Living Center). Texas jurisdictions appear most active, with multiple bids posted from HHSC and TDCJ in the past five months.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), which covered 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and refrigerated products across multiple state facilities with a three-year maximum value of $4.5 million; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products (due May 4, 2026), encompassing 382 line items for six TDCJ distribution points statewide with an initial term through August 31, 2027 and two one-year renewal options; and the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026), including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and sauces for the Department of Community Services. Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools each issued school-nutrition food bids for the 2026–2027 year encompassing nearly 400 line items across multiple food categories with firm pricing for initial periods and subsequent adjustments based on third-party market indices. No recent opportunities show mushroom purees as the primary procurement focus; the code appears incidental to institutional mass-feeding contracts where all bidders must respond to multiple food categories on a single RFQ or IFB.
