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, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local contracting activity in the source data. The most recent opportunities tagged under or near this code solicit comprehensive grocery, produce, and food service items for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply—encompassing hundreds of line items across fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and prepared meals—rather than specialty dried mushroom products. The issuing bodies span school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Fairfax County, Meriden, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, Bulloch County, Pascagoula-Gautier), county and city governments (Hillsborough County, City of Dallas, City of Meriden), and state health and education agencies (Texas HHSC, State of Georgia). Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and Florida, with additional recent solicitations in Connecticut, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program (response due June 30, 2026); the Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with firm pricing through June 2027 (response due June 26, 2026); and the Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution services across 32 schools serving approximately 25,500 students with an estimated annual value of $9 million (response due February 18, 2026). The code shows minimal recent activity directly tied to dried non-GMO brown mushrooms as a standalone product line.
