UNSPSC 50594806: Dried Non GMO enoki mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO enoki mushrooms that has 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 50594806 Dried Non GMO enoki mushrooms is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within broader food procurement. The recent opportunities block, however, reveals no active state or local solicitations specifically for dried non-GMO enoki mushrooms. Instead, the code appears tagged to school nutrition, senior meal service, and state food-supply contracts that span hundreds of line items across fresh produce, frozen goods, proteins, grains, and condiments—categories far broader than dried specialty mushrooms. The solicitations posted between January and June 2026 do not name enoki mushrooms (fresh or dried) among their itemized produce lists or ingredient requirements. This mismatch suggests either that the code was applied as a catch-all placeholder during procurement cataloging or that dried enoki mushrooms, if sourced at all, are bundled into larger grocery contracts without discrete line-item visibility.

The active opportunities block identifies school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Bulloch County and Douglas County in Georgia, Hancock County in Mississippi, Pascagoula-Gautier in Mississippi, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia), county or city food authorities (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases for its school system, City of Dallas for government meal service), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and cooperative purchasing entities (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). The geographic footprint spans Texas, Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, Virginia, and Mississippi. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's grocery bid (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026, IFB for 1,100+ line items including produce and specialty foods), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), and Douglas County's food supply RFP (PE64810NONST2026000000046, due February 18, 2026, estimated $9 million annually). None of these opportunities explicitly calls for dried enoki mushrooms as a specification line or category. Vendors pursuing this UNSPSC code should verify whether procurement offices are actively sourcing this specialty product or whether the code assignment reflects miscategorization.
