UNSPSC 50584700: Non GMO mushrooms

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO 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 50584700 Non GMO mushrooms, a Class code, does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity submitted. The posted opportunities solicit fresh produce broadly—apples, bananas, bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, leafy greens, citrus, berries, and eggs—across school nutrition programs and institutional food service. None of the sixteen recent solicitations explicitly name mushrooms, GMO or non-GMO, as a line item or procurement focus. The code shows no relevant recent activity.

School districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida dominate the recent opportunities, with multiple annual contracts for produce supply to child nutrition and school lunch programs. Representative solicitations include the Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 RFP for line-by-line food and non-food product bids supporting the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs; Northside Independent School District's May 7, 2026 RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 127 schools across the San Antonio area; Hillsborough County Public Schools' March 11, 2026 RFP for specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program; Bulloch County School District's May 4, 2026 IFP for locally-grown produce within 200 miles of the district; and the Douglas County School System's March 4, 2026 RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 school districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. The code itself remains inactive in the state and local marketplace.
