UNSPSC 50494716: Organic shiitake mushroom purees

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

UNSPSC 50494716 Organic shiitake mushroom purees is a Commodity code that captures specialty prepared mushroom products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct activity under this specific code. State and local nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies issue food procurement contracts regularly, but the overwhelming volume of recent activity centers on broader grocery, produce, and general food supply categories rather than specialty organic mushroom purees. The issuing bodies span school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Fairfax County and Douglas County systems in Virginia and Georgia, Liberty County and Muscogee County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Burke County in Georgia), state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and county school systems across multiple states. When school districts and state nutrition programs procure food, they source staples—proteins, produce, dairy, grains, condiments—through master grocery contracts and line-item food supply bids with firm fixed pricing for 12-month terms, often with renewal options extending three to five years.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts including Ben Hill, Burke, Muscogee, Liberty, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County), Texas (HHSC and TDCJ statewide contracts), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Oregon (ODOC canned and fresh goods), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and Illinois (Veterans Home quarterly food orders). Representative recent opportunities include Ben Hill County Schools' FY-27 quarterly food order (RFQ, due June 26, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, historical value $1.5 million annually), Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato procurement (IFB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, covering 45 schools). No recent solicitations explicitly name organic shiitake mushroom purees or specialty mushroom products. The code itself appears underutilized in current state and local procurement activity, suggesting that purchasing offices either classify mushroom products under broader commodity categories or source them as add-on line items within larger grocery contracts rather than as standalone procurements.
