UNSPSC 50594802: Dried Non GMO brown mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO brown mushrooms that have been dried for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50594802 Dried Non GMO brown mushrooms is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within school and institutional food service procurement. State and local governments buy dried mushrooms primarily as ingredients for meal preparation in school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations, usually as part of broader grocery or food-supply contracts rather than as standalone line items. The code appears most frequently in school district procurement, where dried mushrooms are specified alongside fresh produce, proteins, and other ingredients to support National School Lunch Program compliance and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards. Issuing bodies include school districts and county boards of education; no state agencies, municipal governments, or transit authorities appear in the recent opportunities, and there are no repeat buyers visible in the activity block.

Recent activity is sparse and indirect. The Commodity code shows limited explicit visibility in state and local opportunities; dried mushrooms are not named as a line item in the four school nutrition solicitations posted between April and June 2026 (City of Bridgeport grocery items IFB, Texas HHSC food and consumable products IFB, Hancock County Schools fresh produce IFB, and Pascagoula-Gautier School District meal boxes). The code is tagged to opportunities in Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, but none of those summaries surface dried mushrooms as a solicited item. School district nutrition procurement under this code is best approached as part of larger food-service cooperative purchasing vehicles or as component items within institutional grocery contracts, where line-item-level pricing and specification detail emerge only in pre-bid documentation or vendor-facing specification sheets rather than in publicly posted summaries.
