UNSPSC 50604815: Frozen Non GMO portobella mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO portobella 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 50604815 Frozen Non GMO portobella mushrooms is a Commodity code capturing produce and fresh-food inputs for state and local institutional food service, but the recent solicitations under this code do not isolate frozen portobella mushrooms as a line item. Instead, the code appears in broader food-procurement RFQs and RFPs where produce is one component of much larger shelf-stable and fresh inventories. State and local buyers using this code include county government purchasing divisions, state agencies, and school districts sourcing food for senior services, general institutional use, and National School Lunch Program / School Breakfast Program operations. The work involves responding to itemized food lists with unit pricing (per ounce or equivalent measure), meeting delivery windows and temperature controls for perishables, providing certificates of compliance (HACCP, E-Verify, Buy American where applicable), and maintaining liability insurance thresholds.

Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) posted an informal written quote (IWQ) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with a response deadline of October 19, 2026, including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and vegetables for the Department of Community Services, with delivery to Lawrenceville within 72 hours of order and final receipt by December 7, 2026. The State of Georgia solicited food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 bid deadline (posted May 15, 2026), and Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line food bids for the 2026–2027 National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program with a June 8, 2026 deadline (posted May 11, 2026), emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain formulations, low-sodium products, and firm pricing for 15 days post-award with escalation tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index benchmarks exceeding 3%. Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia; the code shows minimal recent solicitation volume and no dedicated portobella-mushroom line-item opportunities in the available records.
