UNSPSC 50584702: Non GMO brown mushrooms

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 50584702 Non GMO brown mushrooms is a Commodity code covering fresh mushroom procurement for food service operations at state and local public institutions. Recent opportunities show state and local governments buying mushrooms and other fresh produce as part of broader food-service contracts for parks concessions, healthcare facilities, school nutrition programs, and state institutional feeding. The issuing bodies span county parks and recreation divisions, school boards, state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions. Scope requirements typically emphasize food-safety compliance, product freshness guarantees, delivery schedules, and alignment with institutional dietary standards or preferences such as domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, or low-sodium formulations where the parent contract encompasses broader food categories.

Recent solicitation activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and includes Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issuing an Invitation to Negotiate for food concessions at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025; Marion Health Care Coalition seeking produce proposals due August 21, 2026; the State of Georgia requesting bids on food and kitchen products due June 22, 2026; and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requesting line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026 for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program support across three schools. The Early County solicitation encompasses approximately 300 food items including fresh produce with emphasis on Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, and domestic sourcing preferences. Mushrooms and other fresh produce enter these contracts either as standalone line items or within broader commodity categories, and vendors must meet health and food-safety regulations, delivery timelines, temperature maintenance, and storage-rotation protocols specified by each institution.
