UNSPSC 50624702: Non GMO brown mushroom purees

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO brown 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 50624702 Non GMO brown mushroom purees is a Commodity code that in theory covers specialty produce purées, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show little activity actually requesting brown mushroom purées or any mushroom products. Instead, the opportunities reflect broad institutional food service procurement across multiple categories—fresh and frozen proteins, produce, dairy, grains, condiments, and consumable supplies—where mushroom purées, if requested at all, appear as minor line items within much larger food service contracts rather than as a standalone focus. The issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas HHS Commission), state corrections departments (Oregon DOC, Texas TDCJ), state education bodies (Georgia, Illinois), county governments (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County), school districts (Burke County Schools), and special-purpose entities managing state-supported living centers. Texas agencies appear in multiple recent solicitations, and school districts across Georgia and the broader Southeast show consistent activity.

Geographic spread centers on Texas (Health and Human Services Commission, TDCJ cafeteria food contracts), Georgia (school districts in Ben Hill and Burke Counties, state procurement), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), spanning 22 food and supply line items for canteen and campus operations; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 for canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases at $13.75 per case in the prior purchase); Burke County Public Schools sealed-bid School Nutrition Food Bid (due June 5, 2026, nearly 400 line items across five schools); and the Texas TDCJ IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products (due May 4, 2026, 382 line items across multiple warehouse locations). The code itself shows minimal specificity to mushroom purées and may reflect a tagging mismatch rather than true demand for this commodity.
