UNSPSC 50584713: Non GMO pompom mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO pompom 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 50584713 Non GMO pompom mushrooms is a Commodity code. State and local school districts are the primary buyers soliciting under this code, though recent opportunities show mushrooms appearing only incidentally—as line items within broader fresh produce and grocery procurement rather than as standalone contracted categories. Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid and Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items solicitation each specify produce and grocery items as part of comprehensive food service contracts, with mushrooms mentioned among dozens of vegetable and produce line items alongside apples, carrots, broccoli, and other fresh produce. The sourcing pattern reflects institutional food service purchasing for school lunch and breakfast programs rather than specialized mushroom procurement.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and adjacent states, with the heaviest volume in school district RFPs and IFBs posted between February and June 2026. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia) have all issued produce procurement solicitations during this window, along with Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and McAllen Independent School District (Texas). However, no solicitation in the opportunity set targets mushrooms as a primary commodity or designates mushroom supply as a distinct contract line. The code's recent activity signal is weak—mushrooms appear only as subordinate items within multi-hundred-line food service catalogs, not as standalone procurements or specialized categories worthy of separate RFP or IFB issuance.
