UNSPSC 50604303: Frozen Non GMO lanro kohlrabi

The variety of Non GMO kohlrabi known as Non GMO lanro 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 50604303 Frozen Non GMO lanro kohlrabi is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single frozen produce item, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little activity aligned with that narrow scope. The code appears in procurement records primarily as a catchall tag within broader food-service solicitations where school districts and state agencies are buying comprehensive grocery, produce, and food-service inventory — meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, fresh and frozen vegetables, fruits, grains, condiments, and paper products — rather than the specific frozen kohlrabi variety the code nominally names. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and state agencies (State of Georgia), with one large urban school district (Dallas Independent School District) also active. Most solicitations are issued as Invitations for Bid (IFB) or Requests for Proposal (RFP) to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations, with contracts typically running July 1 through June 30 of the following year.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Missouri, and Texas. A representative solicitation is Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (Solicitation PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026), which encompasses approximately 300 food items, 60 non-food and paper supplies, bread, and fluid milk delivered Monday through Friday for three schools, with vendors required to maintain HACCP plans, $500,000 general liability insurance, and Buy American compliance. Another is Douglas County School System's Fresh Produce and Eggs RFP (Solicitation PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026) serving 30 districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, requiring five years' public school experience and unit pricing based on documented net cost plus fixed fee. The code shows no relevant recent activity directly tied to frozen lanro kohlrabi procurement; mismatch between the nominal commodity and actual solicitation scope signals that this code is not a reliable classifier for frozen specialty produce purchasing in state and local food service.
