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) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three recent opportunities posted under this code — a county parks concession food services contract, a healthcare coalition produce procurement, and a state food supplies bid — address general food and produce sourcing rather than the specific vegetable product the code names. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners is soliciting food services at North Collier Regional Park via Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) with proposals due March 6, 2025, and Early County Board of Education is requesting line-by-line bids for food and non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program with bids due June 8, 2026. State and local issuing bodies using this code span county parks and recreation departments, school districts, and health care coalitions, with geographic activity in Florida, Georgia, and Marion County.

The code's recent activity does not reflect demand specifically for non-GMO kohlrabi or related brassicas. The Early County Board of Education opportunity is the most substantive, covering approximately 300 food items including vegetables, fruits, meats, poultry, dairy, grains, and condiments across three schools on a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract with potential renewal. Vendors must comply with Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, E-Verify requirements, and $500,000 general liability insurance, with prices remaining firm for 15 days post-award and escalation requests thereafter supported by USDA or CPI data. The Marion Health Care Coalition's produce proposal (due August 21, 2026) and the State of Georgia food supplies bid (due June 22, 2026) offer additional market presence but lack specificity in the posted summaries. The mismatch between the code name and actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding in state and local systems or that this specific commodity sees demand bundled within broader food-service or produce contracts rather than as a standalone line item.
