UNSPSC 50614803: Canned or jarred Non GMO champignon or white mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO champinion 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 50614803 Canned or jarred Non-GMO champignon or white mushrooms is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable mushroom products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show this code tags a narrow slice of much broader food-supply contracts—the code appears alongside dozens of other canned vegetables, proteins, and staple foods in institutional canteen, school nutrition, correctional, and state-facility procurement. State entities actually buying under this code are purchasing it as a line item within comprehensive food-supply bids that span fresh produce, frozen items, dairy, proteins, condiments, and food-service supplies. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies, school districts, correctional departments, and county social-services boards. The work itself is straightforward procurement of inventory—no custom preparation, testing, or value-added service; canned mushrooms arrive F.O.B. Destination in cases, typically in quantities of one to a few cases annually per institutional facility.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs over the past four months for state-supported living centers and state hospitals, with response dates in March, May, June, and August 2026, each encompassing dozens of food line items including canned vegetables at quantities supporting annual institutional operations. The Oregon Department of Corrections and Gwinnett County (Georgia) Board of Commissioners also posted food solicitations in June and October 2026 respectively, though neither explicitly named mushrooms in available summaries. The most concrete recent opportunity is HHS0018082, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center due October 23, 2026 (response already closed), which covers 22 line items of prepared and packaged foods and supplies for canteen and campus operations with annual case quantities ranging from one to twenty-four per item. A second Texas opportunity, HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, had a prior-period monetary guideline of $1.5 million and offered a potential $4.5 million contract value across three years with renewals. These procurements emphasize firm fixed pricing, F.O.B. Destination delivery within seven days of order, three verifiable references, and compliance with state-specific affirmations, E-Verify, debarment certification, and human-trafficking prohibitions.
