UNSPSC 50454304: Frozen organic purple vienna kohlrabi

The variety of organic kohlrabi known as organic purple vienna kohlrabi that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50454304 Frozen organic purple vienna kohlrabi is a Commodity code that sits at the most granular level of the taxonomy, yet state and local procurement activity under it does not reflect purchases of this specific product. Recent solicitations tagged to this code show state and local governments buying broadly across shelf-stable and fresh food categories — including shelf-stable proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables, meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, fresh fruits and vegetables, bread, and fluid milk — to support senior services programs, school meal programs (National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program), and general food service operations. The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, county school districts, and state procurement offices. Georgia dominates the recent activity, with Gwinnett County, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education each posting solicitations between May and October 2026. Food procurement spans multiple notice types: Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote request (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable items due October 19, 2026; Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line bid for approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food products for the school meal programs (due June 8, 2026); and the State of Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026).

The code shows active solicitation primarily in Georgia, with emphasis on volume food purchasing for institutional meal service. Gwinnett County's October 2026 quote request prioritizes F.O.B. Destination delivery to the Senior Services Center within 72 hours of order, with all receipt required by December 7, 2026. Early County schools emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; milk must meet state fat and bacteria documentation, and vendors must carry $500,000 general liability insurance and comply with Buy American provisions. Award under both school and county opportunities is made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The code itself — frozen organic purple vienna kohlrabi — does not appear to align with the scope of these recent solicitations, which focus on mainstream commodity foods and institutional meal service supplies rather than specialty frozen organic vegetables.
