UNSPSC 50424302: Dried green vienna kohlrabi

The variety of kohlrabi known as green vienna kohlrabi that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424302 Dried green vienna kohlrabi (Commodity) names a narrow product category, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect solicitations for the named commodity itself. Instead, issuing bodies are posting bids for dried beans of various types — kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans — for institutional food service and meal programs. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice are among the primary buyers, soliciting dried beans for inmate and institutional meal preparation at scale. The work involves sourcing bulk quantities of triple-cleaned, USDA-graded dried legumes suitable for large-volume institutional cooking, with delivery in palletized increments, compliance with food-safety standards (FDA, USDA, HACCP, Good Manufacturing Practice), and all-inclusive pricing that covers transportation, fuel surcharges, and delivery to state distribution centers. School districts and state nutrition programs also participate — the City of Edinburg, Texas, recently solicited food and nonfood items (including dried beans) for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving approximately 400 children daily.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Comptroller's IFB for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (Solicitation 304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026) spans approximately 382 food line items including diverse dried-bean products for delivery to multiple TDCJ warehouse locations; the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (Solicitation S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) included a combined 10% Oregon-source and Oregon-headquarter preference and historical pricing of $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries posted a request for delivery of kidney beans in 880-bag increments (Solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026), and the State of Oregon sought dried black beans, triple-cleaned (Solicitation S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026). The City of Edinburg's CACFP meal program (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) applied a Texas local-vendor preference and required daily Monday-through-Friday deliveries before noon to support meal service. The code shows active procurement volume focused on correctional-system food service and state-level institutional nutrition programs, with issuing bodies emphasizing USDA-grade compliance, palletization requirements, and inclusive delivery pricing.
