UNSPSC 50614820: Canned or jarred Non GMO white trumpet mushrooms

The variety of Non GMO mushrooms known as Non GMO white trumpet 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 50614820 Canned or jarred Non GMO white trumpet mushrooms is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred produce for institutional food service operations — cafeterias, canteens, dining facilities, and on-campus food supply for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, and senior services programs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing not only specialty mushroom products but the full range of canned vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, mixed vegetables), canned proteins, condiments, sauces, and related consumables alongside non-GMO or organic-certified variants when specified. The buyer mix spans state health and human services departments (particularly Texas HHS Commission), county boards of commissioners and school districts, state corrections departments, and specialized state-supported living centers. Texas agencies, particularly the Health and Human Services Commission and the Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller of Public Accounts, appear as repeat solicitors; Georgia school districts and Gwinnett County also show recent activity under related commodity codes for institutional food supply.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026, for consumable foods (including canned items, prepared foods, and supplies) for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, with bids due October 23, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. Central Time, and earlier issued IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (IFB S2910000017145, June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026, previous award at $13.75 per case). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (IWQ 140229, October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each conducted broad-scope school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026 encompassing canned vegetables, fruits, and related items. No recent opportunities explicitly naming the UNSPSC 50614820 code were identified in the source; the code shows limited direct solicitation activity, with most recent state and local procurement for canned produce routed through broader family-level commodity codes or composite food-service aggregations.
