UNSPSC 50604302: Frozen Non GMO green vienna kohlrabi

The variety of Non GMO kohlrabi known as Non GMO green vienna kohlrabi that has been frozen 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 50604302 Frozen Non GMO green vienna kohlrabi is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty frozen vegetable products, though recent solicitations tag the code broadly within food-service purchasing bundles rather than as discrete frozen kohlrabi line items. State and local governments buy frozen and fresh vegetables as components of larger food-service contracts — typically for school lunch programs, senior services, and state institutional cafeterias — where vegetables appear alongside proteins, grains, dairy, and paper supplies in consolidated RFQs and IFBs. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (as the primary repeat buyer for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance), county departments of community services, and state purchasing offices. School districts dominate the recent activity, often seeking domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives as standing preferences in bid specifications.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia. Early County Board of Education posted an RFQ for FY27 food bids due June 8, 2026, spanning 300+ food items (vegetables, meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, fruits, grains, and condiments) with milk and bread products requiring USDA compliance certifications; the contract period runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 for the Department of Community Services, including canned vegetables and proteins delivered to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen-products bid due June 22, 2026 with scope details in an attached solicitation document. Award is typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; school districts enforce Buy American provisions, require $500,000 general liability insurance for vendors, and permit price escalation requests on a six-month basis when supported by USDA or CPI data. Questions and delivery logistics are routed through county purchasing divisions or state procurement offices, with F.O.B. Destination and inside delivery standard.
