UNSPSC 50604304: Frozen Non GMO purple vienna kohlrabi

The variety of Non GMO kohlrabi known as Non GMO purple 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 50604304 Frozen Non GMO purple vienna kohlrabi is a Commodity code that captures specialized produce items state and local governments procure for food service programs, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows mismatch with the narrow commodity name. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of food items for senior services, the State of Georgia's May 2026 broader food, supplies, and kitchen-products bid, and the Early County Board of Education's May 2026 line-by-line food bid for school lunch and breakfast programs all fall within the family but do not specifically reference frozen kohlrabi or specialty brassicas. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county purchasing offices, state departments, and school district food service operations. The actual procurement activity centers on shelf-stable canned goods, proteins, grains, pastas, sauces, soups, dairy products, and produce — not frozen specialty vegetables — indicating the code may be overly granular or that frozen non-GMO kohlrabi has minimal recent activity in state and local procurement.

Georgia dominates the recent opportunities in this code block, with Gwinnett County, the State of Georgia, and Early County Schools all posting solicitations between May and October 2026. Gwinnett County's October 19, 2026 response deadline for senior services food items represents the most recent opportunity, with delivery required within 72 hours of order and final receipt by December 7, 2026, using F.O.B. Destination with inside delivery. Early County Schools' June 8, 2026 deadline for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program items emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and USDA compliance across approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food products, with a July 1, 2026 contract start and firm pricing held for 15 days post-award. The State of Georgia's June 22, 2026 bid deadline for food and kitchen products offered minimal public detail beyond the attached solicitation document. Award in all three cases goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with Gwinnett County permitting split awards by line item and Early County Schools allowing piggybacking by other school districts on identical terms.
