UNSPSC 50614801: Canned or jarred Non GMO black trumpet mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO black trumpet mushrooms that have been canned or jarred 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 50614801 Canned or jarred Non GMO black trumpet mushrooms is a Commodity code that covers specialty preserved mushroom products sourced by state and local institutions for food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show that government agencies procure canned and jarred mushroom products as part of broader food-supply contracts for institutional feeding programs—specifically, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and senior services departments. The work is heavily weighted toward large volume food procurement by Texas state agencies, Georgia counties and school districts, and Oregon state departments, with vendors responding to IFBs and informal written quotes that bundle mushrooms alongside hundreds of other food products for annual supply agreements.

Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumable foods at state supported living centers including HHS0018082 (Lufkin, due October 23, 2026) and HHS0017449 (El Paso, due July 13, 2026) and a large supplemental food contract HHS0016792V2 spanning state hospitals and living centers statewide with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items under IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia sought comprehensive food bids for school nutrition programs due June 15, 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) and the State of Georgia posted a broad food-supplies solicitation due June 22, 2026. Burke County Public Schools in Georgia solicited nearly 400 line items across multiple food categories (due June 5, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice sought approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (due May 4, 2026). Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with deliveries to institutional feeding sites across multiple school and agency locations within each state.
