UNSPSC 50584703: Non GMO champignon or white mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO champinion 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 50584703 Non GMO champignon or white mushrooms is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code to classify fresh mushroom procurement, though recent solicitations show minimal direct activity under the specific mushroom classification itself. School districts, counties, and state purchasing offices acquire mushrooms as line items within broader fresh-produce and grocery contracts rather than as standalone procurements. When mushrooms appear in state and local RFPs and IFBs, they are typically bundled with dozens of other produce items—apples, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers—and invoiced through food service or child nutrition programs. The code represents a narrow commodity within the institutional food-service supply chain, where mushrooms compete for inclusion in weekly or monthly standing orders based on unit pricing, quality, delivery reliability, and compliance with USDA and state food safety standards.

Recent activity under this code remains sparse and fragmented across school nutrition procurement in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Northside ISD in San Antonio, Austin ISD, McAllen ISD), county and regional school systems (Glynn County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Early County, Bulloch County, Rockwood R-VI, Hillsborough County), and state purchasing (State of Georgia fresh produce procurement). Representative recent solicitations include the Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 Fresh Produce (due April 14, 2026), which listed approximately 60 produce line items including mushrooms as one among many vegetables; Liberty County Board of Education's IFB for produce and food products (due April 29, 2026); and Muscogee County School District's ITB 26-017 Purchase of Produce Items (due April 27, 2026), which specified mushrooms in unit and case quantities alongside dozens of other vegetables. The Douglas County School System cooperative procurement for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 school districts across Georgia (due March 4, 2026 through GEC Buying Cooperative) bundled mushrooms within a $4.4 million to $1.1 million annual spending envelope for Area One and Area Two respectively. No standalone mushroom contracts, no mushroom-specific set-asides, and no repeat sole-source arrangements for mushrooms appear in the recent opportunity record. Pursuit of this code is practical only when bidding institutional food-service contracts where mushrooms are one line item among many—success depends on competitive unit pricing indexed to USDA terminal markets, reliable weekly or biweekly delivery to multiple school sites, full compliance with HACCP and food safety protocols, and the ability to hold firm prices across 12-month school nutrition contracts.
