UNSPSC 50614814: Canned or jarred Non GMO porcieni mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO porcieni 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 50614814 Canned or jarred non-GMO porcini mushrooms is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable prepared foods and food service supplies for institutional cafeterias, food service operations, and on-site canteen or campus retail services. The code shows limited direct activity in the recent solicitations reviewed — none of the posted opportunities explicitly name porcini mushrooms or closely match the code's nominal scope. The few recent opportunities tagged to this code involve broader food service procurement by state health and human services agencies, state departments of corrections, school districts, and county social services departments. State-supported living centers and state hospitals operated by Texas Health and Human Services Commission represent significant repeat buyers; school nutrition programs across Georgia appear regularly; and Oregon's Department of Corrections and Illinois state agencies also solicit food products. The geographic spread centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional activity in Illinois.

Representative recent opportunities show the mismatch between the code's name and actual procurement scope. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies but no specialty mushroom products. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division posted an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with a prior purchase reference at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and canned vegetables (due October 19, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia requested sealed bids for comprehensive grocery procurement across multiple food categories (due June 15, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities posted under this UNSPSC number do not target specialty mushroom products and suggest a tagging mismatch rather than active procurement demand for canned or jarred non-GMO porcini mushrooms in state and local markets.
