UNSPSC 50604811: Frozen Non GMO oyster mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO oyster 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 50604811 Frozen Non GMO oyster mushrooms is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of specialty produce items, though recent solicitations show the code is being tagged for broader food-service purchasing rather than frozen mushrooms specifically. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code include county boards of commissioners procuring for senior services and community nutrition programs, state governments purchasing food supplies across multiple agencies, and school districts sourcing products for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The actual work being solicited spans shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, dairy, grains, condiments, fresh and frozen produce, and support items like paper products and cleaning supplies — the code's nominal scope for frozen non-GMO mushrooms does not align with the broader commodity baskets being purchased in recent opportunities.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote (IWQ) on October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and prepared goods for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line bid on May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026, for approximately 300+ food items and 60+ non-food and paper products to support school meal programs across three schools, with contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and allowance for piggybacking by other school districts.
