UNSPSC 50594818: Dried Non GMO st george's mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO st george's 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 50594818 Dried Non GMO St George's Mushrooms, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally denotes a single dried specialty mushroom product, yet the recent opportunities tagged to it span comprehensive grocery procurement, bulk meal delivery, fresh produce contracts, and food service supply — categories that do not align with procurement of a single dried ingredient item. State and local buyers do source mushrooms as part of broader food service contracts for schools, senior meal programs, and institutional dining, but the available solicitations do not isolate dried St George's mushrooms as a line item or specify them by name or UNSPSC code.

The recent activity block contains school district grocery and fresh produce bids (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state food service procurement (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), county senior meal services (Hillsborough County, Florida), and municipal meal delivery (City of Dallas). Geographic spread includes Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for grocery items (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) supporting the Board of Education's National School Lunch Program, and Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution (PE64810NONST2026000000046, due February 18, 2026) across 32 schools. None of these opportunities targets dried non-GMO St George's mushrooms as a distinct procurement line, and the code assignment appears to be a data-entry or taxonomy-matching error rather than a reflection of actual state and local buying patterns for this commodity.
