UNSPSC 50494710: Organic morels mushroom purees

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

UNSPSC 50494710 Organic morels mushroom purees is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of specialty food ingredients for institutional food service operations, though recent solicitations under this code show minimal direct activity for the named product. Instead, state and local buyers—principally school districts, state correction departments, state health and human services agencies, and veterans' homes—are actively procuring broad categories of food products and supplies for cafeteria, nutrition, and food service programs. The issuing bodies span a mix of state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Georgia state agencies), county and municipal school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Muscogee County Schools in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), and special-purpose districts (Illinois Veterans Home). School districts represent the plurality of recent buyers, with multiple concurrent procurements across Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia driving consistent demand.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with historical spending of $1.5 million for the prior 12-month period; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for food products across multiple categories due June 15, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools plus distribution kitchens, due April 27, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million by geographic area, due March 4, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (where school districts dominate), Texas (state health agencies), Oregon (state corrections), Illinois (veterans' homes), Missouri (school districts), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Procurement vehicles include IFBs, RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs, with response dates ranging from February through July 2026 and contract terms typically running July 1 through June 30 to align with school fiscal years. No set-asides or vendor restrictions are evident across most solicitations; Buy American Act compliance appears standard for school nutrition programs. The code itself does not support activity in organic morels specifically—none of the recent opportunities name mushrooms or morel products—suggesting either minimal state and local demand for this specialty ingredient or systematic misclassification under broader commodity food codes.
