UNSPSC 50624713: Non GMO pompom mushroom purees

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO pompom 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 50624713 Non GMO pompom mushroom purees (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under this code. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for pompom mushroom purees or any specialty mushroom products. Instead, the opportunities consistently reference broad institutional food procurement — prepared foods, shelf-stable staples, frozen proteins, canned vegetables, and food service consumables for state facilities, school districts, and county programs. The code's nominal scope (a single specialty ingredient) does not match the actual buying pattern, which is general-purpose food service supply across dozens or hundreds of line items per solicitation.

The issuing bodies are diverse: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (state supported living centers and state hospitals), school nutrition programs in Georgia and Texas (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Gwinnett County (Georgia), Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, prior value $1.5 million annually), the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, prior purchase $13.75 per case), Ben Hill County Schools' food bid for school nutrition across four locations (due June 15, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (extended due date May 4, 2026). No opportunities in the block reference pompom mushroom purees or non-GMO mushroom ingredients, suggesting this Commodity code receives minimal or no current state and local procurement activity.
