UNSPSC 50614807: Canned or jarred Non GMO hedge hog mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO hedge hog 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 50614807 Canned or jarred Non GMO hedge hog mushrooms is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable mushroom products that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service and nutrition program supply chains. Recent state and local solicitations show this code embedded within much larger consumable-food buys for institutional food service — state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services — where canned mushrooms appear as a line item among dozens of other proteins, vegetables, and prepared foods rather than as a standalone category. The buying organizations are predominantly state health and human services departments, state corrections agencies, county boards of education, and county senior-services programs. Work under the code involves supplying canned mushroom products to institutional kitchens on firm-fixed-unit-price contracts with FOB Destination delivery, typically within 7 to 30 days of order, and compliance with USDA grade standards, FDA labeling requirements, and minimum shelf-life certifications.

Recent solicitations cite Texas most frequently — the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers, with historical contract values reaching $1.5 million to $4.5 million over multi-year periods. Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and Gwinnett County have posted IFBs and IWQs for school nutrition and senior-services food procurement in the second quarter of 2026. Oregon's Department of Corrections issued a canned-tomato bid in June 2026 with a prior award of $13.75 per case. Illinois is soliciting weekly food orders. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) covering food and consumables under NIGP categories including proteins and fresh/frozen/dry goods; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026, previous award $13.75 per case); and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products across multiple categories (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) with Buy American requirements and delivery to four school locations. These procurements typically require three references, proof of liability insurance ($500,000 to $1,000,000), HACCP compliance, debarment certifications, and E-Verify affidavits.
