UNSPSC 50424306 Dried white vienna kohlrabi is a Commodity code that in practice covers institutional and correctional food procurement sourcing dried legumes and bulk food staples for meal programs, institutional kitchens, and state agency food services. The recent opportunities solicited under this code show state and local governments purchasing dried beans (kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, black beans) and related food products in bulk quantities for correctional facilities, child-and-adult care food programs, and institutional meal services. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and agriculture, state purchasing divisions, city governments, and special-purpose food-service entities; Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the State of Illinois appear as repeat buyers. The scope spans procurement of triple-cleaned dried legumes meeting USDA grade standards, complete meal-service food bundles (proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, paper goods, and janitorial supplies), and weekly food orders for institutional kitchens, typically with all-inclusive delivered pricing and compliance requirements tied to FDA, USDA, HACCP, and state nutrition standards.
