UNSPSC 50404302: Green vienna kohlrabi

The variety of kohlrabi known as green vienna kohlrabi

UNSPSC 50404302 Green vienna kohlrabi is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of specific fresh produce items, though recent solicitations show little direct activity targeting green vienna kohlrabi itself. Instead, the code appears embedded in broader fresh produce and food service contracts where multiple vegetable varieties are bundled together. State and local buyers soliciting under this code tier include Texas Health and Human Services Commission purchasing for state-supported living centers, Texas Department of Criminal Justice procuring for correctional institutional food service, Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health seeking produce deliveries for treatment facilities, school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County), county governments (Collier County), and specialized programs such as Head Start organizations and senior services divisions. Texas agencies dominate the recent activity, with HHSC and TDCJ issuing repeated solicitations for consumable foods, fresh produce bundles, and food service items. The work being solicited spans two distinct categories: institutional food service supply contracts for state agencies and correctional facilities, where produce is purchased as part of comprehensive meal programs; and school nutrition contracts, where fresh fruit and vegetable procurement supports federal child nutrition programs and breakfast/lunch operations.

Recent opportunities illustrate the scope. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026; bids due October 23, 2026) seeking consumable foods including fresh produce for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center canteen and campus, with estimated annual usage ranging from one to twenty-four cases per item and F.O.B. Destination delivery required within seven days of order. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted RFP IW267376 (October 12, 2026; due October 19, 2026) requesting fresh fruit and vegetable supply to Palestine, Texas, and IFB IW267420 (September 30, 2026; due October 14, 2026) for fresh produce delivery to the Snyder Food Warehouse. The Illinois Department of Corrections solicited quotes for bi-weekly produce deliveries to Joliet Treatment Center (IFB 27426DOCJOLIEB53849; due September 3, 2026) under a one-year small-business set-aside, specifying USDA-grade onions, peppers, cucumbers, cabbage, lettuce, apples, oranges, tomatoes, potatoes, bananas, garlic, celery, green onions, and cilantro. Madison Metropolitan School District issued RFB 4163 (posted July 8, 2026; due July 29, 2026) for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison, Wisconsin, requiring approximately 5,900 ready-to-eat servings weekly for elementary students participating in the USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program. Bartow County School System in Georgia and Dougherty County Board of Education also posted produce solicitations in May 2026 emphasizing seasonal variety, local sourcing, and delivery to multiple school sites. Activity concentrates in Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Georgia, with Texas representing the largest volume through HHSC and TDCJ institutional procurement.
