UNSPSC 50424300: Dried kohlrabi

The type of vegetable known as kohlrabi that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424300 Dried kohlrabi, a Class code, nominally covers dehydrated kohlrabi products but shows little alignment with actual state and local procurement activity in the recent solicitation record. The opportunities posted under this code span dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, and pinto/red beans—along with broader cafeteria food products and CACFP meal supplies including beverages, paper goods, proteins, vegetables, fruits, and janitorial supplies. State correctional agencies and departments of corrections emerge as primary buyers, supplemented by state food-service procurement offices, municipal child-care programs, and institutional food buyers. Work consists of bulk institutional food procurement for prison meal programs, state agency dining, and community child-care nutrition services, with typical specifications requiring USDA grading compliance, food-safety certifications, triple-cleaned bean products, and FOB destination delivery to central distribution points.

Solicitation activity clusters in Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois, with the Oregon Department of Corrections and Georgia state procurement offices posting multiple recent bids. Representative opportunities include the Georgia Correctional Industries RFQ for 880-bag increments of kidney beans due October 9, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 with 10% combined Oregon-fabrication and Oregon-headquarters evaluation preferences; the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts IFB for cafeteria food products across five TDCJ warehouse regions due May 4, 2026 with single-award per line-item basis; and the City of Edinburg, Texas RFP for CACFP meal program supplies serving approximately 400 children daily due August 4, 2026 with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The code shows material activity in state-level bulk food procurement but limited relevance to the nominal dried-kohlrabi scope.
