UNSPSC 50614805: Canned or jarred Non GMO cremini mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO cremini 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 50614805 Canned or jarred Non GMO cremini mushrooms is a Commodity code that sits beneath broader food-procurement activity at state institutions, corrections facilities, schools, and public health departments. State and local governments buying under this code are typically procuring shelf-stable food products for institutional food service — mass feeding operations at state hospitals, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and senior-services agencies. The code appears as one line item among dozens in large, bundled food-supply solicitations rather than as a standalone procurement; state institutions rarely issue bids for cremini mushrooms alone, instead grouping canned vegetables, proteins, condiments, and related supplies into consolidated IFB contracts. Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (operating state hospitals and supported living centers), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (correctional facilities via the Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division), Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia and Georgia county school districts, and specialized state purchasing operations such as Illinois institutional housing and food services. The mix skews heavily toward state departments managing institutional food service for residential or secure facilities, with school districts as secondary buyers.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple large institutional food solicitations between May and October 2026—IFB HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, food and consumables, due July 13, 2026), IFB HHS0016792v2 (supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, 210 line items, potential value $4.5 million over three years, due March 19, 2026), and IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables and food service supplies, 22 line items, due October 23, 2026). Georgia school districts including Burke County Public Schools (sealed bids for school nutrition, nearly 400 line items, due June 5, 2026) and Ben Hill County Schools (food bid including produce, meat, dairy, and supplies, due June 15, 2026) issued comprehensive grocery bids. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomatoes bid (7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026) and a potato-variety procurement (due July 27, 2026). The code shows no recent dedicated opportunities for cremini mushrooms specifically; when mushrooms appear, they fall as single line items within broader institutional food-supply contracts using RFP, RFQ, IFB, or IWQ notice types. No mushroom-specific solicitations appear in the recent-opportunities block.
