UNSPSC 50484301: Azur star kohlrabi purees

The variety of kohlrabi known as azur star kohlrabi which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484301 Azur star kohlrabi purees, a Commodity code, reflects state and local procurement of specialty food products for institutional feeding programs, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code is sparse and the opportunities posted show minimal overlap with the code's nominal scope. The issuing bodies soliciting food procurement across the broader category include state departments (Illinois, Texas, Oregon), county school districts (Muscogee, Douglas, Burke, Liberty, Savannah-Chatham, Ben Hill in Georgia; Rockwood in Missouri; Fairfax in Virginia), state correctional facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). Most recent activity clusters around comprehensive food-service procurement—fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, and prepared items—for school nutrition programs and state institutions rather than specialty kohlrabi purees specifically. The code shows little decision-relevant recent activity; the opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly naming kohlrabi purees or close derivatives, suggesting either light demand under this specific commodity classification or systematic tagging drift in state and local procurement systems.

Geographic concentration appears strongest in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent activity in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Illinois, Oregon, and Virginia. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables procurement (IFB HHS0017449, response due July 13, 2026) covering 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, response due April 27, 2026) spanning 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services grocery procurement (electronic bids, response due April 29, 2026) with over 900 line items and estimated contract values reflecting substantial annual food-service spend. School districts dominate the recent issuing body mix, with state agencies (corrections, health services) as secondary buyers. The code itself warrants monitoring for broader specialty-produce demand signals, though current state and local procurement patterns show institutional buyers sourcing standardized commodity foods through established food-service distribution channels rather than pursuing niche vegetable products under this specific classification.
