UNSPSC 50584706: Non GMO enoki mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO enoki 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 50584706 Non GMO enoki mushrooms is a Commodity code that describes fresh produce — specifically specialty mushroom varieties — procured by state and local governments as components of food service operations, institutional meal programs, and concession services. The recent opportunities in this code reflect state and local demand for fresh produce items across multiple operational contexts: school meal programs under USDA nutrition guidelines, county park concession facilities, regional health care coalitions, and state-level food procurement. Issuing bodies span school districts (Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), state departments (Georgia), and specialized public health entities (Marion Health Care Coalition). The scope of work includes sourcing fresh fruits and vegetables meeting food safety and quality standards, managing seasonal pricing adjustments, coordinating delivery schedules and temperature maintenance, and complying with domestic sourcing preferences where applicable.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with documented solicitations from Georgia, Florida, and Marion County in the source materials. Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line bid (RFQ) due June 8, 2026 for approximately 300+ food items across meats, poultry, dairy, vegetables, and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; the contract runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options. Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) due March 6, 2025 for food services at North Collier Regional Park and concession facilities, requiring diverse food and beverage options across multiple venues; a 10-point local-vendor preference applies to vendors meeting Collier or Lee County residency criteria. Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce vendor proposals due August 21, 2026 for the 2026-2027 contract period. Georgia issued a statewide food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. School districts and county parks appear to represent the most frequent solicitation activity under this code in the recent-opportunities record.
