UNSPSC 50584709: Non GMO lobster mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO lobster 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 50584709 Non GMO lobster mushrooms is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh specialty mushroom products procured by state and local food service operations, including school districts, county parks departments, healthcare facilities, and state procurement offices. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local governments buying fresh produce, including specialty varieties, for institutional food service — from school lunch programs serving 300+ line items of produce and proteins to county park concessions and healthcare coalition supply chains. The work involves vendor qualification based on food safety compliance, delivery reliability, product freshness guarantees, pricing stability, and adherence to sourcing preferences such as domestic sourcing and non-GMO certification where specified. Issuing bodies include county boards of education managing National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program supply chains, county parks and recreation departments operating food concessions, state departments of administration managing statewide food procurement, and healthcare coalitions coordinating institutional meal services. A 10-point local-vendor preference applies in some jurisdictions when vendors maintain permanent business addresses and employee residency in the relevant county or region.

Recent activity spans Georgia (state-level food procurement and Early County Schools), Florida (Collier County parks concessions), and Marion County healthcare operations. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026, encompassing 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits alongside meats, dairy, and grains for three schools, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026 (due March 6, 2025) for food services at North Collier Regional Park, requiring vendors to provide diverse food and beverage options across multiple venues with compliance to food safety regulations and a three-year contract term with renewal options. Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce vendor proposals due August 21, 2026 for the 2026-2027 period, specifying fresh fruits and vegetables with quality standards, delivery timelines, and volume requirements.
