UNSPSC 50594306: Dried Non GMO white vienna kohlrabi

The variety of Non GMO kohlrabi known as Non GMO white vienna 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 50594306 Dried Non GMO white vienna kohlrabi, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope; the code shows little specific demand for this specialty vegetable product in public-sector solicitations. School districts, county boards of education, and state agencies have recently solicited fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supply, and prepared meal services — but the recent opportunities posted under or near this code span broad food-service categories (fresh produce staples, frozen and canned vegetables, grains, proteins, beverages, dairy, and prepared items) rather than dried non-GMO kohlrabi as a distinct line item. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issued ITB 26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services (estimated value $17.8 million over three years), and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia issued IFB 2000004323 for a Master Grocery K-12 contract covering 45 schools plus warehouse distribution — both representing large-scale commodity procurement vehicles into which specialty vegetables would be incorporated, if at all, as minor line items within broader fresh-produce or prepared-food frameworks rather than as primary procurement targets.

State and local food-service procurement across the recent block concentrates heavily in school nutrition programs (Meriden Public Schools Connecticut, Bulloch County and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Hancock County Schools in Georgia, and Douglas County Schools in Georgia) and county/municipal operations (Bridgeport Connecticut Department of Public Purchases for school nutrition, Texas Health and Human Services Commission for a state-supported living center, and the City of Dallas for boxed meal delivery to municipal events). The geographic spread spans Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, with Georgia and school-district procurement representing the densest activity. Geographic and issuing-body fragmentation, combined with the absence of any recent solicitation explicitly naming dried kohlrabi, dried kohlrabi products, or comparable specialty dried vegetables as a line item, signals limited pursuit opportunity under this code at present; businesses should monitor broader fresh-produce and commodity-grocery opportunities instead.
