UNSPSC 50494200: Organic kohlrabi purees

The type of organic vegetable known as organic kohlrabi which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50494200 Organic kohlrabi purees is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the source records. The code itself names a specific processed vegetable product, yet none of the 19 posted opportunities reference organic kohlrabi purees or any kohlrabi product at all. The solicitations instead cover broad food procurement—weekly food orders for veterans' homes (Illinois), supplemental foods and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers (Texas), canned tomatoes and tomato paste (Oregon), and comprehensive school nutrition grocery and fresh-produce contracts across multiple states (Georgia, Missouri, Virginia). The mismatch between the nominal code and the actual buying activity suggests either that kohlrabi purees are not currently a procurement focus for state and local governments in the source dataset, or that issuing bodies are tagging broader food category codes rather than commodity-level codes when soliciting food supplies.

The geographic and issuing-body spread in the recent opportunities reflects heavy activity among school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools Virginia; Rockwood R-VI Missouri; Burke County and Ben Hill County Georgia; Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County Georgia; Douglas County Georgia) and state departments (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Georgia state operations). Texas, Georgia, and Oregon dominate the sample, with Texas HHSC posting for state hospitals and supported living centers at estimated values up to $4.5 million, and Oregon ODOC issuing recurring ITBs for canned and processed vegetables at smaller unit volumes. School nutrition contracts range from $1.5 million (Texas HHSC El Paso facility) to $9 million (Douglas County Food Supply and Distribution). Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' tomato-canned IFB (solicitation S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB for statewide facilities (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026). None of these solicitations specifically target organic kohlrabi or any kohlrabi-based products, indicating that the code tier selected does not reflect current state and local procurement demand.
