UNSPSC 50624717: Non GMO shimeji mushroom purees

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO shimeji 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 50624717 Non GMO shimeji mushroom purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments rarely solicit as a standalone line item; recent procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct demand for non-GMO shimeji mushroom purees specifically. The opportunities posted to this code instead reflect broader food supply solicitations where mushroom purees, if purchased at all, appear as one component within large commodity baskets serving institutional food service operations. State and local issuing bodies—primarily school districts and state-operated facilities—purchase food through comprehensive grocery and produce procurement processes organized by NIGP and USDA food categories rather than by individual specialty ingredients. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, and multiple Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Muscogee County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System) have posted recent food solicitations, but none explicitly names mushroom purees or specialty vegetable products as a line-item requirement in publicly available abstracts.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, and Missouri, where school nutrition programs and state institutional food service operations issue regular food procurement solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's HHS0017449 IFB for food and consumable products serving El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 11, 2026), covering NIGP food categories but not itemizing mushroom products; Ben Hill County Schools' Food Bid IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026), encompassing produce, dairy, and prepared items across multiple school sites; and Rockwood R-VI School District's Grocery Items and Grocery NOI solicitations (both due April 29, 2026) for approximately 200 to 900 line items across standard food service categories. The code shows no concentration of mushroom-specific demand. Firms positioned to supply specialty produce or value-added vegetable ingredients should monitor school district and state facility food service RFPs and IFBs, which typically solicit via cooperative purchasing vehicles or direct agency channels rather than under this narrow commodity code, and should expect to bid as part of larger product assortments rather than as a sole-source line.
