UNSPSC 50604807: Frozen Non GMO hedge hog mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO hedge hog mushrooms that have been frozen 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 50604807 Frozen Non GMO hedge hog mushrooms is a Commodity code that in practice covers a much broader range of shelf-stable and perishable food products than the narrow code name suggests. State and local buyers soliciting under this code are actually procuring comprehensive food-service packages — shelf-stable staples, proteins, dairy, produce, bread, and miscellaneous kitchen supplies — primarily for senior services, school meal programs, and institutional foodservice operations. Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices, state procurement agencies, and school district boards of education. The scope typically encompasses line-by-line bidding on hundreds of food and non-food items with strict compliance requirements around USDA specifications, domestic sourcing, nutritional standards, temperature-controlled delivery windows, and food safety documentation such as HACCP plans and recall procedures.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IFQ (Informal Written Quote) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, with quotes due October 19, 2026 and delivery required to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 with a June 22, 2026 response date. Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 covering 300+ food items and 60+ non-food and paper products to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026 and a July 1, 2026 contract start date. School district and senior-services procurement under the code typically emphasizes domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, firm pricing with escalation caps tied to USDA indices, and piggybacking rights for other jurisdictions.
