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 under which state and local governments procure food products for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show the code capturing a narrow slice of institutional food procurement—mushroom purees appear neither prominently nor consistently in the opportunities posted. The code's nominal scope is highly specific, yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitation explicitly requesting mushroom purees by name or UNSPSC reference. Instead, the opportunities show state and local food service buyers (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, school nutrition programs across Georgia and Missouri) soliciting broad-based food procurement contracts spanning proteins, produce, dairy, canned goods, condiments, and prepared foods as line-item component buys within much larger quarterly, annual, and multi-year term agreements. When mushroom products appear in these solicitations at all, they are embedded as minor line items within hundreds of SKUs rather than featured procurement categories.

The issuing-body mix reflects institutional food service demand: state departments managing facilities for veterans and corrections populations (Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). Geographic activity concentrates in the South (Texas, Georgia, Oregon) and Midwest (Illinois, Missouri, Virginia), with school districts representing the highest volume of recent activity. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical contract value of $1.5 million annually; the Ben Hill County Schools food bid (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) under the Buy American Act for multiple product categories across four school locations; and the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution services to 32 schools with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. The code shows little relevant recent activity as a standalone mushroom-puree procurement vehicle—it appears primarily as one possible line item within massively broader institutional food service contracts where price discovery occurs through consolidated RFPs and IFBs rather than category-specific solicitations.
