UNSPSC 50464302: Canned or jarred green vienna kohlrabi

The variety of kohlrabi known as green vienna kohlrabi that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50464302 Canned or jarred green vienna kohlrabi, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable preserved vegetable products that state and local governments buy primarily as part of broader food-service procurement for institutional kitchens, correctional facilities, supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. The code sees limited direct solicitation activity; instead, canned and jarred vegetables of this type typically appear as line items within larger food-supply RFBs and IFBs that encompass dozens or hundreds of products. Recent opportunities show that when solicitations do reference preserved vegetables, they are bundled with fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, dry goods, and food-service supplies in competitive bids evaluated on lowest responsive price and vendor ability to meet delivery and specification requirements. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments operating supported living centers and state hospitals, state corrections departments, school districts, and county nutrition programs. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Oregon Department of Corrections appear multiple times in the recent opportunity set, suggesting they are repeat institutional buyers with recurring annual or multi-year food contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary presence in Oregon and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792V2 (supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, 210 line items, March 19, 2026 response date, with potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years); the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (June 19, 2026 response, delivered to Salem distribution center, with Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidder preferences); Ben Hill County Schools IFB for comprehensive school nutrition products across four locations (June 15, 2026 response, emphasizing whole grain and low-sodium options under Buy American requirements); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food procurement covering approximately 382 line items to five geographic warehouse areas (May 4, 2026 response, extended from April 21). All recent solicitations require firm fixed pricing, F.O.B. Destination delivery with freight included, product specifications and USDA grades, three verifiable references, and compliance with E-Verify and debarment certifications. School districts and state institutional buyers typically split awards by line item and may contract with multiple vendors; price adjustments after initial contract terms are limited or pegged to Consumer Price Index or USDA market data.
