UNSPSC 50424301: Dried azur star kohlrabi

The variety of kohlrabi known as azur star kohlrabi that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424301 Dried azur star kohlrabi is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not involve kohlrabi or similar specialty vegetables. Instead, the code is being applied to procurements for dried legumes and bulk food supplies for institutional and correctional foodservice — kidney beans for Georgia Correctional Industries, dried pinto and red beans for the Oregon Department of Corrections, dried black beans for Oregon state agencies, and broader cafeteria and meal-program food products for correctional facilities, school districts, and state agencies across multiple states. The work being solicited encompasses specification-driven procurement of USDA-graded dried legumes (typically triple-cleaned to U.S. No. 2 or better standards with defined moisture and foreign-material limits), bulk food supplies for institutional kitchens, and complete foodservice supply packages including beverages, paper goods, proteins, dairy, grains, and janitorial supplies. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state purchasing offices, municipal governments, city school districts and food programs, and state agencies; Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear as repeat buyers across the recent activity.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, and Texas, with additional recent solicitations from Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Georgia Correctional Industries RFQ for kidney beans (solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026, delivered in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive pricing); the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (solicitation S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026, triple-cleaned to U.S. No. 2 or better, FOB destination Salem within 45 days, with historical pricing at $0.493 per pound and 10% Oregon-based supplier preference); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended due date May 4, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid conference held March 26, 2026, and initial contract term through August 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals); and the City of Edinburg, Texas RFP for CACFP meal-program supplies serving approximately 400 children ages 1–18 daily (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026 at 3:00 PM, with local-vendor preference within 5% of lowest bid under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051).
