UNSPSC 50594810: Dried Non GMO morels mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO morels 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 50594810 Dried Non GMO morels mushrooms (Commodity) does not see active state and local procurement under its nominal scope; the recent opportunities tagged to this code span broad institutional food service and school nutrition programs that include fresh produce, prepared meals, and grocery staples, not specialty dried mushrooms. The code appears misapplied to general nutrition contracts rather than the narrow commodity it describes.

State and local governments procuring under this code tag—school districts, counties, state health agencies, and regional boards—are buying fresh produce, meal preparation and delivery, and packaged grocery items for school lunch programs, senior nutrition, and state facility food service, all subject to Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed items), Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act compliance, and HACCP food safety standards. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items across breakfast, frozen, dairy, and produce for the Board of Education (due June 30, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million (due July 13, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items including apples, berries, and specialty items (due June 26, 2026); and Hillsborough County's June 2026 ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17.8 million (due June 25, 2026). Geographic activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, with school districts and county governments as the primary repeat buyers. Contracts run 12 months or longer with firm pricing or CPI adjustment provisions, firm fixed freight included, and Net 30 to Net 45 payment terms.
