UNSPSC 50594305: Dried Non GMO rowel trero kohlrabi

The variety of Non GMO kohlrabi known as Non GMO rowel trero 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 50594305 Dried Non GMO Rowel Trero Kohlrabi, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are purchasing under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged with this code involve comprehensive school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply contracts that span fresh produce, groceries, prepared meals, and related food service products—none of which center on or reference dried kohlrabi as a line item or procurement focus. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), a state health and human services agency (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), a county government (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), a municipal purchasing office (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and City of Dallas, Texas), and a state procurement office (Georgia). The code appears to be a miscategorization; solicitations under this tag focus on bulk food service distribution, fresh produce procurement, packaged meal delivery, and commodities for school breakfast and lunch programs rather than specialty dried vegetables.

Geographic activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and Virginia, with the heaviest recent concentration in Georgia school districts and state purchasing. Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) covering grocery delivery to 45 schools plus distribution warehouses with a July 2026 start; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' grocery items bid for Bridgeport Board of Education (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items under the National School Lunch Program with Buy American requirements; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB 26-00289, due June 25, 2026) valued at $17.8 million over three years; and Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution RFP (PE64810NONST2026000000046, due February 18, 2026) with an estimated annual spend of $9 million. The code's narrow commodity name does not align with the breadth or type of procurement activity actually occurring; vendors pursuing these opportunities should treat the code as a data-quality issue and focus on institutional food service distribution, school nutrition programs, and fresh produce supply rather than dried kohlrabi.
