UNSPSC 50594814: Dried Non GMO porcieni mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO porcieni 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 50594814 Dried Non-GMO porcini mushrooms is a Commodity code that describes a single ingredient line item within the broader school and institutional food-service procurement landscape. State and local governments source this product as part of large grocery and food-supply contracts for school nutrition programs, state-supported living facilities, senior meal programs, and other institutional dining operations. The recent opportunities posted under this code show that dried mushrooms are solicited as one line item among hundreds spanning produce, proteins, dairy, and specialty ingredients rather than as standalone procurement events. Issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county commissioners (Hillsborough County), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). Most solicitations are structured as IFB or ITB notices with firm fixed pricing, National School Lunch Program compliance, and Buy American domestic agricultural content requirements at 51 percent or higher for processed items.

Recent activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an RFB (Solicitation BNB052266) for over 1,100 line-item grocery items supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education, due June 30, 2026, with delivery to a central warehouse and school sites Monday through Friday. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical value of $1.5 million annually, proposals due July 13, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce under IFB SN002-2027 (Solicitation PE67080NONST2027000000013), due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items with delivery to three school locations. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB-26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years, due June 25, 2026, requiring Florida-licensed caterers. The State of Georgia posted a food-supplies solicitation (Solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009) due June 22, 2026. These opportunities emphasize compliance with health codes, HACCP plans, nutritional standards, and vendor liability insurance; dried mushrooms would compete within these broad procurement events as one commodity among many rather than as a dedicated line of business.
