UNSPSC 50414201: Organic azur star kohlrabi

The variety of organic kohlrabi known as organic azur star kohlrabi

UNSPSC 50414201 Organic azur star kohlrabi is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific produce variety, but state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with sourcing individual vegetable SKUs. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect institutional fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs across multiple states, where school districts and state agencies issue broad requests for fresh fruits, vegetables, and related food service items covering dozens to over 100 line items per solicitation. The work consists of supplying, packaging, and delivering produce to school campuses on weekly or twice-weekly schedules, meeting USDA food safety and Buy American standards, maintaining HACCP certification and traceability systems, and in many cases sourcing locally grown or domestically produced items where cost and quality permit. School districts dominate the issuing body mix, including Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), alongside state-level procurement by the State of Georgia. Georgia school districts appear most frequently in recent solicitations, with multiple districts issuing RFPs and IFBs for annual produce contracts in the March through May 2026 window.

Recent activity spans the South and Southwest, with concentrated solicitation in Georgia and Texas. Representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's RFP for line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026, encompassing 300+ food items and weekly delivery to three schools; Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce due May 7, 2026, requiring USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance and deliveries five days per week to all district campuses; Bulloch County School District's IFP for 24 locally grown produce items (within 200 miles) due May 4, 2026, under a Farm to School program; and the State of Georgia's IFB #4 2027-2026 for fresh produce due May 27, 2026, supporting state operations. Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) solicited fresh fruit and vegetable program deliveries for approximately 18 elementary schools under an RFP due March 11, 2026, with a federal grant-funded cost-plus-fee contract structure and an estimated annual budget of $600,000. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, require firm pricing for at least one year, include HACCP and general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000), and evaluate vendors on price (often weighted 30–50%), quality, experience, and ability to meet district needs. The mismatch between the code's nominal item description and the breadth of institutional produce procurement suggests either overtagging at the category level or intentional use of a Commodity code to span multiple produce items in school nutrition contexts.
