UNSPSC 50624708: Non GMO hen of the woods mushroom purees

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO hen of the woods 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 50624708 Non GMO hen of the woods mushroom purees is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement records show little relevant activity under it. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for hen of the woods mushroom purees or any specialty mushroom products. The seven most recent postings under this code span canned tomatoes, potatoes, generic food and consumable products for state facilities and school nutrition programs, and cafeteria supplies — none of which match the specific product scope. State and local governments do procure fresh and specialty produce items through food-service bids, but hen of the woods mushroom purees do not appear as a distinct line item or category in current solicitations.

Activity across the opportunities block is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, driven by large standing contracts for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, and school districts. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posts repeatedly for broad consumable and food products spanning the state hospital and living-center network (most recently HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, IFB due October 23, 2026, and HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center, IFB due July 13, 2026). School districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County, Burke County) and the Oregon Department of Corrections have also posted food procurement bids since May 2026. None of these solicitations isolate specialty mushroom products as a line item or set-aside category. Vendors considering this code should verify whether target jurisdictions actually incorporate specialty mushroom purees into their food-service specifications before investing in qualification and reference development.
