UNSPSC 50414200: Organic kohlrabi

The type of organic vegetable known as organic kohlrabi

UNSPSC 50414200 Organic kohlrabi, a Class code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity in the sourced recent opportunities. The code nominally covers a single produce item—organic kohlrabi—yet the recent solicitations document systematic, large-scale institutional purchasing of diverse fresh produce assortments, fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, and related food service items for child nutrition programs and school cafeterias across multiple states. State and local governments are buying comprehensive produce baskets through school districts, county boards of education, and independent school districts, with emphasis on USDA compliance, domestic sourcing preferences, HACCP certification, Buy American provisions, and delivery infrastructure for multiple school sites rather than specialized organic items. The issuing bodies are predominantly school nutrition programs and school districts of varying sizes—from small rural county boards (Bulloch County, Early County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Georgia) to large urban districts (Austin ISD with multiple school locations, NISD serving 127 schools across San Antonio, SCCPSS serving 60 school sites, McAllen ISD serving 31 campuses, SLCSD serving 38 facilities, and Rockwood R-VI serving multiple schools across St. Louis County)—along with a regional cooperative purchasing vehicle (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). No commercial procurement offices, state supply agencies, or specialized food vendors appear as issuing bodies in the block.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Missouri, and Utah. Georgia shows the highest recent volume: solicitations from the State of Georgia (May 2026), Early County Schools, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System (coordinating 30 districts), and Muscogee County School District all posted between February and May 2026. Texas activity includes Northside ISD in San Antonio (May 2026, RFP 2026-048 due May 7 for fresh produce delivery to 127 schools) and Austin ISD (RFP 26RFP034 due March 11). Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools, RFP 26039RFQDST due March 11 for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty fruits and vegetables to 18 elementary schools), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI, ITB due April 29 for 900+ line items), and Utah (Salt Lake City School District, IFB DH2647-FPD due April 1) round out the recent geographic distribution. Representative opportunities show the scope mismatch: Northside ISD (RFP 2026-048, due May 7, 2026) solicited fresh produce for USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance across 127 schools with monthly pricing adjustments; Early County Schools (ITB, due June 8, 2026) requested line-by-line food and non-food bids covering 300+ items, meats, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and milk; and Douglas County School System through GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4) pooled 30 Georgia districts for approximately 72 produce line items with estimated combined annual spending of $5.5 million. The mismatch between the organic kohlrabi code classification and the broad institutional food service procurement activity suggests the code carries little decision relevance for firms pursuing state and local school nutrition contracts.
