UNSPSC 50594803: Dried Non GMO champignon or white mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO champinion 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 50594803 Dried Non GMO champignon or white mushrooms is a Commodity code that captures single dried mushroom product lines. State and local governments rarely solicit this code directly; the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically requesting dried mushrooms. Instead, mushrooms appear embedded within larger grocery and food-service procurement categories where they are one line item among hundreds. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' grocery bid for the Bridgeport Board of Education (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), and Meriden Public Schools' commercial groceries and USDA Foods procurement (RFP 026-41, due February 25, 2026, approximately $3.1 million) all span 1,100+ line items and multiple product families including vegetables, but none isolates dried mushrooms as a standalone contract vehicle. School nutrition programs, which dominate the recent activity, purchase dried mushrooms—if at all—as minor ingredient components of prepared foods or spice-category items rather than as direct commodities.

Geographic activity in dried mushroom procurement at the state and local level is sparse and fragmented. Recent solicitations cluster in Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), Virginia (Fairfax County), Georgia (Douglas County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County school systems, and State of Georgia food and produce bids), Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center), Florida (Hillsborough County senior meals), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District), and Illinois (Hancock County Schools). No solicitation names dried mushrooms as a line-item code. Pursuit under UNSPSC 50594803 requires identifying opportunities at the Family or Class level (broader grocery or produce categories) where mushrooms are specified as ingredients and then positioning dried mushrooms as part of a larger vendor response. The code sees minimal standalone activity in state and local procurement; business development success depends on embedding dried mushroom supply within master grocery, produce, or food-service distributor relationships rather than pursuing discrete dried-mushroom contracts.
