UNSPSC 50594303: Dried Non GMO lanro kohlrabi

The variety of Non GMO kohlrabi known as Non GMO lanro kohlrabi that has been dried for preservation. 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 50594303 Dried Non GMO lanro kohlrabi is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a specific dried vegetable product, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of lanro kohlrabi or other dried vegetables in isolation. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for broad food service categories — school nutrition programs, senior meal services, facility food supply contracts, and institutional food purchasing — where dried vegetables may be a minor line item among hundreds of other food products. State and local buyers posting under this code span school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and special-purpose institutional food service programs. The actual buying is for comprehensive grocery procurement tied to USDA nutrition standards, National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products where applicable), and specialized service requirements such as HACCP plans, allergen controls, blind taste testing, and emergency delivery capacity.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) issued an IFB for over 1,100 line-item grocery items supporting school breakfast and lunch with a June 30, 2026 response date; the contract runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with Net 45 payment terms and $1,000,000 per occurrence liability insurance required. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB on June 10, 2026 for fresh produce across 200+ line items with a June 26, 2026 deadline and July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 term. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 with a July 13, 2026 response date; the prior-year spend guideline was $1.5 million. Hillsborough County (Florida) posted an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services on June 3, 2026 due June 25, 2026, with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90 and mandatory licensure as a Florida Department of Elderly Affairs Adult Care Food Program Caterer. The source shows no dedicated dried-vegetable procurement under this code; the code's recent activity misaligns with its nominal commodity scope.
