UNSPSC 50584206: Non GMO white vienna kohlrabi

The variety of Non GMO kohlrabi known as Non GMO white 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 50584206 Non GMO white vienna kohlrabi, a Commodity code, describes fresh vegetable procurement in state and local school nutrition and institutional food service contexts. The recent solicitations tagged under this code overwhelmingly reflect school district demand for broad fresh produce portfolios—apples, bananas, leafy greens, peppers, carrots, broccoli, and dozens of other items—rather than kohlrabi specifically. School districts and county school systems dominate the issuing bodies, with occasional state procurement offices seeking produce for general operations. Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) appear as repeat or recent procurers. The work solicited consists of fresh produce supply contracts for child nutrition programs, typically requiring weekly or more frequent delivery to multiple school sites, USDA compliance including Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, food safety documentation, and pricing anchored to USDA market reports or fixed markups above wholesale indices.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri. Representative solicitations include the Northside Independent School District RFP 2026-048 (Texas, due May 7, 2026) for fresh produce delivery to 127 schools across the San Antonio area with USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance and monthly price adjustments; Early County Board of Education IFB (Georgia, due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300 food items including extensive produce, with domestic sourcing preference and firm pricing for 15 days post-award; Bulloch County School District IFP (Georgia, due May 4, 2026) for 24 locally-grown produce items (within 200 miles) with 30-point weighting on price in a 100-point evaluation; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 (Georgia, due March 4, 2026) through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 school districts in two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, include multiple-vendor awards on a line-item basis, and require firm pricing throughout the contract period with post-award price adjustments only on documented market conditions verified through USDA or BLS indices.
