UNSPSC 50614813: Canned or jarred Non GMO pompom mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO pompom 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 50614813 Canned or jarred Non-GMO pompom mushrooms is a Commodity code that describes shelf-stable canned or jarred mushroom products. However, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal procurement activity directly matching the nominal scope. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the State of Georgia have all posted food-service solicitations in the past four months, but these opportunities focus on broad consumable-food and kitchen-supply portfolios—prepared foods, proteins, vegetables, condiments, dairy, grains, and food-service supplies—rather than specifically on non-GMO mushroom products. The tagged opportunities suggest state and local agencies use this code as a catch-all or organizational placeholder for general food procurement rather than a precision marker for specialty mushroom items.

When present, the representative recent opportunities reflect institutional food-service demand. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026, for consumable foods for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026, covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies across fiscal year 2027. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division posted an IFB on June 5, 2026, for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (not mushrooms), due June 19, 2026, with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences at 5 percent each. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia requested sealed bids on May 19, 2026, for a comprehensive school-nutrition food procurement across four schools due June 15, 2026, spanning fresh, frozen, dairy, and condiment categories under the Buy American Act. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas, covering approximately 382 line items of proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments with a due date of May 4, 2026. Activity is spread across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois; no recent opportunities document specialty non-GMO mushroom procurement specifically, suggesting this code currently sees limited direct relevance to actual state and local buying patterns for the named product line.
