UNSPSC 50584202: Non GMO green vienna kohlrabi

The variety of Non GMO kohlrabi known as Non GMO green vienna 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 50584202 Non GMO green vienna kohlrabi is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity in the source. The code specifies a single produce variety — non-GMO green vienna kohlrabi — but the recent solicitations represent school nutrition programs and state food procurement offices purchasing broad fresh produce assortments spanning dozens of items (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, eggs, and many others) for child nutrition, farm-to-school, and institutional food service operations. None of the posted opportunities explicitly solicit vienna kohlrabi, green or otherwise. The mismatch between the narrow commodity specification and the actual purchasing patterns suggests the code carries minimal decision relevance for vendors pursuing state and local school food service or produce distribution contracts.

School districts dominate the issuing bodies across recent opportunities, including Early County Board of Education, Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), and Austin Independent School District (Texas), alongside state procurement offices (Georgia, Missouri) and a multi-district cooperative (GEC Buying Cooperative, Georgia). Georgia accounts for the heaviest recent activity, with at least eight district-level or cooperative solicitations posted between February and May 2026. Representative opportunities include the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (response deadline March 4, 2026, serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million), Northside Independent School District RFP for fresh produce for child nutrition (response deadline May 7, 2026, covering 47 school campuses in San Antonio with monthly price adjustments), Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP for fresh fruit and vegetable program specialty produce (response deadline March 11, 2026, serving 18 elementary schools in the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program with cost-plus-fixed-fee contracting), and Bulloch County School District RFP for locally grown produce within 200 miles (response deadline May 4, 2026, supporting farm-to-school programming across 14 schools).
