UNSPSC 50594807: Dried Non GMO hedge hog mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO hedge hog 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 50594807 Dried Non GMO hedge hog mushrooms is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure this item primarily as a line item within broader school food service and institutional nutrition supply contracts. The recent opportunities show that dried mushrooms appear as part of larger grocery or fresh-produce solicitations where schools and public health facilities order hundreds or thousands of line items at once — fresh produce for school lunch programs, breakfast and lunch items for food service, and consumable products for state-supported residential facilities. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and their nutrition departments, county boards of education, and state health and human services agencies. These are typically multi-year contracts run through July to June school-year cycles or state fiscal years, with firm fixed pricing and Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic agricultural content.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with solicitations posted from Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida between April and June 2026. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB (BNB052266) in June 2026 for over 1,100 grocery line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education with a response deadline of June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB for fresh produce in June 2026 with bids due June 26, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumable products for a state-supported living center with a historical spend of $1.5 million annually and a response deadline of July 13, 2026. These contracts typically involve sealed competitive bids, USDA compliance documentation, nutritional labeling and analysis requirements, HACCP plans, and payment within 30 to 45 days of invoice. The code shows no standout repeat buyers or dominant geographic concentration — activity is distributed across multiple school districts and state agencies purchasing commodity food items on annual or multi-year cycles.
