UNSPSC 50434306: Dried organic white vienna kohlrabi

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

UNSPSC 50434306 Dried organic white vienna kohlrabi, a Commodity code, nominally describes a specific produce item, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no solicitations for kohlrabi. Instead, issuing bodies are procuring dried beans and institutional food products — dried kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans — for correctional facilities, state agencies, and child care food programs. The work being solicited comprises bulk procurement of dried legumes meeting USDA grading standards and triple-cleaning specifications, along with broader institutional food supply contracts that bundle proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and associated kitchen products for cafeteria and meal-service operations. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Texas), state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices procuring on behalf of multiple agencies, and municipal authorities managing child care food programs. The scope spans product specification and compliance (moisture content, foreign-material thresholds, HACCP and FDA standards), palletization and delivery logistics, and evaluation criteria that weigh cost, vendor qualifications, and menu or program quality.

Recent opportunities concentrate in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with activity in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. Representative solicitations include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for kidney beans (880-bag increments, due October 9, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026, with 10% in-state preference applied for evaluation), Texas TDCJ's IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across five warehouse locations (due May 4, 2026, with responses submitted to the Statewide Procurement Division in Austin), and the City of Edinburg's RFP for a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supply serving 400 children daily (due August 4, 2026, with local-vendor preference applying to bids within 5% of lowest price). The code shows mismatch with its nominal scope — dried organic white vienna kohlrabi does not appear in any recent opportunity — and activity reflects procurement of commodity dried beans and institutional food bundles rather than specialty produce.
