This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions.

UNSPSC 50604813 Frozen Non GMO Pompom Mushrooms is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the provided opportunities. The source contains no solicitations requesting frozen pompom mushrooms or closely related specialty produce items. Instead, recent state and local opportunities under codes adjacent to fresh and frozen food procurement focus on broad school nutrition procurement—fresh produce, eggs, general grocery items, frozen foods, and main-line food distribution—rather than specialty frozen mushroom products.

The recent opportunities show sustained activity among school districts and state education agencies across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas, with Georgia school systems (Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Early County Board of Education) and the State of Georgia issuing multiple RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce, eggs, frozen and grocery items, and food supply distribution. The Dallas Independent School District in Texas and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri similarly solicit food products for child nutrition services. These districts specify whole-grain bread, low-sodium formulations, products without artificial additives, HACCP compliance, Buy American sourcing, and delivery to multiple school sites. The code shows no recent relevant procurement activity.
