UNSPSC 50584200: Non GMO kohlrabi

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO kohlrabi. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50584200 Non GMO kohlrabi, a Class code, describes fresh produce items that state and local governments procure for food service operations across parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and institutional dining. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing fresh vegetables as components of broader food-service contracts—not as standalone commodity purchases. The issuing bodies include county park systems, school districts (particularly those administering National School Lunch Programs), state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions. Work under this code typically involves vendor selection for produce supply and delivery meeting quality standards, food-safety compliance, seasonal availability adjustments, and delivery timelines specified in contract documents.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Florida, based on recent postings. The State of Georgia issued a general food-supplies bid in May 2026; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited line-by-line food bids including vegetables due June 8, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025; and Marion Health Care Coalition (location not specified in source) sought produce proposals due August 21, 2026. The Early County schools solicitation emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with a contract term of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and renewal options. Most recent opportunities bundle produce into multi-line food-service contracts rather than isolating non-GMO kohlrabi as a discrete line item.
