UNSPSC 50404303: Lanro kohlrabi

The variety of kohlrabi known as lanro kohlrabi

UNSPSC 50404303 Lanro kohlrabi, a Commodity code, sees active recent procurement by state and local school districts, county school systems, and state criminal justice agencies buying fresh produce—including kohlrabi where it is specifically named—alongside wider vegetable and fruit categories for student nutrition programs, institutional food service, and USDA-funded initiatives like the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. State and local buyers procure kohlrabi as part of comprehensive fresh-produce contracts that typically include dozens of line items spanning apples, carrots, broccoli, potatoes, leafy greens, and specialty vegetables; individual kohlrabi solicitations are rare, but the commodity appears in broader school nutrition and institutional food-service RFPs and IFBs at the Class and Family levels. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, including Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa), McAllen ISD (Texas), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Austin ISD, and multiple Georgia school systems (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Douglas County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Bulloch County); state procurement offices and state criminal justice agencies also solicit produce, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice regularly posting multiple IFBs for individual vegetables and mixed produce for institutional food service and canning operations.

Recent opportunities span the South and Texas with heaviest concentration in Georgia and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include Northside Independent School District (San Antonio) RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery five days per week to all district campuses, bids due May 7, 2026; Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa) RFP 26039RFQDST for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty produce to 18 elementary schools via cost-plus fixed-fee-per-case contract, proposals due March 11, 2026; Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB IW241979-A for 1,200 tons of carrots (an allied commodity), bids due March 17, 2026; Douglas County School System (Georgia) RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts in two regions with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One, proposals due March 4, 2026; and Austin ISD RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and a la carte beverages to all Food Service locations, proposals due March 11, 2026. Most school district contracts run July 1 through June 30 with annual renewal options. Evaluation criteria typically weight cost at 35 to 50 percent, product quality and service delivery, vendor qualifications and experience, and often include Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, and geographic or local-vendor preferences. Set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are uncommon in the recent postings; however, some solicitations encourage small business and minority-owned vendor participation as a federal funding requirement. Insurance requirements are standard across buyers, typically $500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability, and Net 30 payment terms predominate.
