UNSPSC 50624700: Non GMO mushroom purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO mushrooms. 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 50624700 Non GMO mushroom purees is a Class code, but the most recent state and local opportunities solicited under it do not reflect procurement of non-GMO mushroom purees or mushrooms of any kind. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and the State of Georgia have all posted food procurement notices tagged to this code in the past four months, yet their scopes cover shelf-stable grocery items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, canned vegetables, canned tomatoes), fresh and frozen produce, prepared and specialty foods, dairy products, beverages, and food service supplies—none of which are mushroom purees or mushroom products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either a data-tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or that this code is not actively used for its stated commodity.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent postings, with individual solicitations from Illinois and multiple notices from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and school districts. Without verified opportunities actually soliciting non-GMO mushroom purees, the code shows little relevant recent activity for business development purposes. Vendors specializing in mushroom puree products should verify category assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
