UNSPSC 50434300: Dried organic kohlrabi

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

UNSPSC 50434300 Dried organic kohlrabi is a Class code that nominally covers dehydrated kohlrabi produce, but recent state and local solicitations show that the code is being applied to a broader institutional food-procurement activity — dried beans, pulses, and bulk staple proteins for correctional facilities, child care programs, and state educational institutions. The work actually being solicited under this code spans procurement of dried kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans in institutional quantities (hundreds to tens of thousands of pounds), typically packaged for bulk institutional cooking and meal preparation in state prisons, correctional industries, child and adult care food programs, and state agency warehouses. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments and purchasing divisions (Georgia Department of Corrections, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state child care and nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas), and state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple state agencies. The code sees activity from both dedicated correctional purchasing and broader state institutional food procurement.

Recent solicitations show geographic concentration in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. Georgia Correctional Industries posted a bid for 880-bag increments of kidney beans due October 9, 2026, with all-inclusive pricing and electronic PDF submission required. Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (triple-cleaned, U.S. No. 2 grade or better) due June 19, 2026 through the OregonBuys system, with a combined 10% Oregon-origin preference and FOB destination delivery to Salem within 45 days at a historical price of $0.493 per pound. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued an Invitation for Bid for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including proteins and staples across five Texas warehouse locations, with response due May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum from April 21). The City of Edinburg, Texas, posted an RFP for CACFP meal-program supplies to serve approximately 400 children daily, with five supply categories including beans and proteins, due August 4, 2026, applying a 5% local-vendor preference for bids within that margin of the lowest price.
