UNSPSC 50444300: Frozen kohlrabi

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

UNSPSC 50444300 Frozen kohlrabi is a Class code that does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually buying under this taxonomy designation. The recent-opportunities block shows no frozen-kohlrabi solicitations; instead, the tagged opportunities span frozen corn, frozen potato products, assorted frozen vegetables, and broad-spectrum grocery procurement for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state-supported living centers. The code designation appears mismatched to the actual procurement activity, and frozen kohlrabi itself does not surface in any of the recent state or local bids posted between January 2026 and July 2026.

State and local frozen-vegetable procurement activity—when classified under frozen-vegetable codes generally—flows primarily through department of corrections facilities, school nutrition programs (National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program), and state health and human services agencies. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, state departments of health and human services, and dozens of school districts (from single-county districts to large urban systems such as Dallas ISD and Fairfax County Public Schools) are the primary issuing bodies. Procurement is concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, North Carolina) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon) with secondary activity across the Mid-Atlantic (Pennsylvania, New Jersey) and Midwest (Missouri, Illinois). Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet corn due July 24, 2026 (S2910000017451), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers (historical contract value $4,500,000 over three years, HHS0016792V2), and the Fairfax County Public Schools master grocery contract for K-12 supply to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026). Frozen-vegetable procurement at the state and local level is active and recurring, typically with annual or multi-year contract terms, firm fixed pricing, FOB-destination delivery, and Buy American or domestic-sourcing provisions for school nutrition programs.
