UNSPSC 50614811: Canned or jarred Non GMO oyster mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO oyster 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 50614811 Canned or jarred Non GMO oyster mushrooms (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within the broader institutional and school food procurement market. State and local governments soliciting under this code are purchasing preserved mushroom products as components of larger food service supply contracts rather than as standalone commodity buys. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for oyster mushrooms or targeting this exact product code. The solicitations posted from Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County, Oregon Department of Corrections, and multiple school districts over the past four months reflect institutional food procurement across preserved vegetables, proteins, dairy, and fresh produce—but none name oyster mushrooms as a line item or specify them in scope summaries. The Oregon canned-tomato IFB (S2910000017145, 7,616 cases due June 19, 2026) and Texas supplemental food procurement (HHS0016792V2, 210 line items, due March 19, 2026) both encompass large-scale preserved vegetable purchases, yet oyster mushrooms do not appear among the documented items.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on the recent solicitations in the broader food-procurement space; however, this Commodity code shows little relevant recent activity specific to oyster mushrooms. Issuing bodies span state agencies (Texas HHS, Oregon DOC, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County), school districts (Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools), and regional correctional systems. Because no recent opportunities explicitly solicit canned or jarred Non GMO oyster mushrooms by product code or specification, business development professionals should treat this Commodity as a low-activity category and focus instead on position within broader institutional food-service cooperatives or framework agreements covering multiple preserved-vegetable line items where mushroom products may be included as secondary offerings alongside primary canned-goods solicitations.
