UNSPSC 50584205: Non GMO rowel trero kohlrabi

The variety of Non GMO kohlrabi known as Non GMO rowel trero 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 50584205 Non GMO rowel trero kohlrabi, Commodity tier, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a produce item, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for kohlrabi or comparable specialty vegetables. Instead, the solicitations in the source reflect broad fresh-produce procurements serving school nutrition programs, child nutrition initiatives, and state food operations across a range of produce categories—apples, bananas, berries, carrots, celery, peppers, broccoli, tomatoes, leafy greens, citrus, potatoes, melons, eggs, and other staples—but not the specific commodity named in the UNSPSC code. The disconnect between the code's narrow item focus and the actual scope of procurement activity suggests this Commodity code does not represent a material category in current state and local government buying patterns.

School districts, county boards of education, and state agencies in Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri are the primary issuing bodies pursuing fresh-produce contracts under broader taxonomy codes in this family. Representative solicitations include Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce for child nutrition due May 7, 2026; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026; Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program procurement due March 11, 2026; Bulloch County School District (Georgia) farm-to-school locally grown produce RFP due May 4, 2026; Douglas County School System (Georgia) RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts with estimated spending of $5.5 million, due March 4, 2026; and Austin Independent School District RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages due March 11, 2026. Vendors pursuing this commodity code should monitor broader produce-family codes rather than the narrow item specification, as state and local procurement offices use higher-tier taxonomy codes to solicit mixed-produce baskets that include many items but rarely single SKUs.
