UNSPSC 50594801: Dried Non GMO black trumpet mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO black trumpet mushrooms that have been dried for preservation. 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 50594801 Dried Non GMO black trumpet mushrooms (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within school food service and institutional meal procurement, where state and local governments purchase specialty and conventional produce items to support child nutrition programs and senior meal services. Recent solicitations show the code being used — though often alongside broader grocery and produce categories — in food service contracts spanning school districts, county boards of education, state health agencies, and county social services departments. The work solicited includes fresh and processed produce, specialty mushrooms, and related food items for institutional kitchens, cafeterias, and meal-delivery operations. Most opportunities require compliance with the National School Lunch Program, Buy American Provision minimums (typically 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items), HACCP food safety plans, and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards. Vendors must hold appropriate food service licensing, maintain commercial general liability and products liability insurance, submit complete nutritional analyses and ingredient documentation at bid, and accept delivery schedules and ordering through school district systems such as LINQ School Solutions.
