UNSPSC 50404305: Rowel trero kohlrabi

The variety of kohlrabi known as rowel trero kohlrabi

UNSPSC 50404305 Rowel trero kohlrabi is a Commodity code that maps poorly to the state and local procurement activity actually being solicited under it. The code nominally describes a specific vegetable variety, but the recent opportunities tagged with this code span fresh produce supply, cafeteria food products, and institutional food service — work that encompasses dozens of produce items, prepared foods, and food service supplies well beyond any single commodity. The issuing bodies are diverse: state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections and Mental Health), school districts and school nutrition programs (Madison Metropolitan, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County), counties (Collier), cities (San Antonio), and specialized entities (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). Texas dominates the recent activity, with repeat solicitations from TDCJ for bulk fresh fruits and vegetables serving correctional institutions, and multiple HHSC IFBs for food service groceries and canteen supplies at state supported living centers. Georgia school districts (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County) and Illinois state agencies account for the remaining concentration.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0018082, posted October 16, 2026, requesting consumable foods and supplies for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center with bids due October 23, 2026, covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service disposables; the Texas TDCJ solicitations IW267420 and IW267411, posted September 30, 2026, for fresh fruit and vegetable delivery to Snyder and Wynne food warehouses with responses due October 14, 2026; and the Bartow County School System RFP 10-2026-019, posted May 21, 2026, seeking local fresh fruits and vegetables from farms within 400 miles with proposals due June 22, 2026. The code shows no meaningful alignment with any single product line and appears to be a tagging artifact; procurement professionals should not rely on this code for category-level sourcing strategy.
