UNSPSC 50614815: Canned or jarred Non GMO portobella mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO portobella 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 50614815 Canned or jarred Non GMO portobella mushrooms is a Commodity code that frames a narrow product line, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little activity specifically for portobella mushrooms; instead, the opportunities span broader consumable food procurement for state agencies, county governments, school districts, and institutional facilities. The work being solicited includes institutional food service supply contracts for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, and senior services programs. These contracts typically encompass dozens to hundreds of line items—prepared foods, proteins, dairy, canned vegetables, condiments, paper supplies, and kitchen equipment—where portobella mushrooms, if included at all, represent one or two items among many. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions (Texas HHS, Texas TDCJ), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Georgia), state departments of corrections (Oregon DOC), and state procurement offices on behalf of multiple agencies (Illinois, Georgia, Oregon). Repeat buyers among the recent postings are the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (which appears in five of the opportunities) and Georgia school districts (which appear in three).

Activity clusters heavily in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas HHS posted five separate food and consumable procurements between May and October 2026, ranging from single-facility canteen supplies (IFB HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026) to statewide supplemental food contracts (HHS0016792V2, valued at up to $4.5 million over three years, response deadline March 19, 2026). Georgia school districts and Gwinnett County posted food bids in May and June 2026 (Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271, due June 15; Burke County Public Schools, sealed bids due June 5). The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) with a 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders. Most opportunities are IFBs or IWQs with response windows of one to three weeks and F.O.B. Destination pricing including freight. The code shows no specific recent activity isolating portobella mushrooms as a distinct procurement line; vendors pursuing this Commodity code should expect competition in broader institutional food service categories rather than mushroom-specific opportunities.
