UNSPSC 50604809: Frozen Non GMO lobster mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO lobster mushrooms that have been frozen 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 50604809 Frozen Non GMO lobster mushrooms is a Commodity code that in practice state and local procurement offices tag to food-service supply contracts, though recent solicitations show minimal specific demand for frozen non-GMO mushrooms as a standalone line item. The code appears in food-procurement RFQs and RFPs issued by counties, school districts, and state agencies purchasing bundled food inventory for institutional food service — senior services, school meals (breakfast and lunch programs), and cafeteria operations. Work under the code consists of supplying fresh or frozen specialty produce items, including mushrooms, as part of broader food-service agreements that also encompass proteins, grains, dairy, and dry goods. Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices (notably Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), school district boards of education (Early County Board of Education), and state departments (State of Georgia).
