UNSPSC 50584705: Non GMO cremini mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO cremini 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 50584705 Non GMO cremini mushrooms (Commodity) represents fresh produce sourcing for institutional food service operations, with state and local governments procuring mushrooms and related fresh produce as components of larger food-supply contracts for parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and other public dining venues. The code's scope encompasses produce items delivered to meet operational food-service needs, quality standards, and seasonal availability requirements. Issuing bodies include county park and recreation divisions, school districts, state purchasing offices, and healthcare coalitions — all acquiring fresh vegetables and fruits as line items within broader food-service procurement programs. The work is episodic and embedded in larger food-supply contracts rather than standalone mushroom purchases; procurement occurs through RFP, ITN, and IFB notice types with evaluation criteria emphasizing vendor qualifications, food-safety compliance, delivery reliability, and pricing competitiveness.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Florida, and other jurisdictions with institutional food-service demand. Collier County (Florida) issued an ITN on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park with proposals due March 6, 2025, requiring produce as part of concession operations at athletic facilities and water parks. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026 covering 300+ food items including fresh vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, emphasizing domestic sourcing and low-sodium formulations. Marion Health Care Coalition (Florida) sought produce proposals due August 21, 2026 for 2026-2027 operations. The State of Georgia posted a food-supplies bid due June 22, 2026 with scope details in attached documentation. School districts and county food-service operations appear to be the most active recent buyers under this code, with contract terms typically one year or multi-year with renewal options, firm pricing subject to quarterly or seasonal adjustment clauses, and compliance requirements including HACCP plans, Buy American provisions, and food-safety certifications.
