UNSPSC 50454301: Frozen organic azur star kohlrabi

The variety of organic kohlrabi known as organic azur star kohlrabi that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50454301 Frozen organic azur star kohlrabi is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, represents a subset of broader food procurement solicitations rather than a discrete product line actively sought in isolation. The recent opportunities posted under or near this code predominantly involve comprehensive food purchases for school nutrition programs, senior services, and state institutional feeding — encompassing shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, grains, dairy, and fresh produce rather than frozen specialty vegetables like azur star kohlrabi. State and local issuing bodies soliciting food products include school districts (Early County Board of Education), county departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state purchasing offices (State of Georgia), typically through informal written quotes (IWQ), line-by-line IFBs, or sealed-bid processes. Vendors bidding on food contracts must meet compliance requirements including HACCP plans, Buy American provisions where applicable, worker verification, debarment checks, and general liability insurance thresholds; school districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain specifications, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia, with recent opportunities from Gwinnett County (posted October 2026), the State of Georgia (posted May 2026), and Early County Schools (posted May 2026). The Early County Board of Education IFB for FY27 food purchases (due June 8, 2026) represents the most detailed scope: approximately 300 food items (meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, condiments) and 60 non-food supplies across three schools under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and options to extend. Gwinnett County's informal written quote (due October 19, 2026) sought 35 line items of shelf-stable products (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) for senior services delivery, awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder per unit cost. The State of Georgia's May 2026 solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) similarly requested bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products with full scope details in the attached solicitation document, indicating recurring state-level demand for institutional food procurement.
