UNSPSC 50494206: Organic white vienna kohlrabi purees

The variety of organic kohlrabi known as organic white vienna kohlrabi which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50494206 Organic white vienna kohlrabi purees is a Commodity code that does not see meaningful recent activity among state and local buyers. The code's nominal scope is highly specialized—organic kohlrabi in pureed form—yet the recent solicitations posted under this code reveal a substantial mismatch: state and local governments are actually procuring broad-spectrum food supplies for institutional dining and food service, including canned vegetables, proteins, dairy products, frozen entrees, condiments, and kitchen consumables. The nine opportunities posted between May and October 2026 span generic food and consumable purchasing for state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and county senior services, none of which target or reference organic kohlrabi purees or specialty vegetable purees at all. This indicates either a tagging error at the jurisdictional level or that the commodity code is routinely misapplied to general food procurement.

The issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple facilities solicited separately), Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Georgia county government (Gwinnett County), the State of Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The geographic spread covers Texas (dominant buyer with five solicitations for state living centers and TDCJ cafeteria supplies), Georgia (three school district and one county solicitation), Oregon (one corrections facility procurement), and Illinois (one statewide food service). Representative recent opportunities include IFB HHS0018082 by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center with bids due October 23, 2026; IWQ 140229 by Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with quotes due October 19, 2026; and IFB 304T-26-300CF by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of TDCJ for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products with responses due May 4, 2026. Given the consistent mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being bought, pursuit under this code should be avoided in favor of broader commodity codes that capture institutional food and food-service supply procurement.
