UNSPSC 50614300: Canned or jarred Non GMO kohlrabi

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO kohlrabi that has been canned or jarred 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 50614300 Canned or jarred non-GMO kohlrabi is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows no relevant solicitations in the recent-opportunities dataset; the posted opportunities are predominantly for broad food service and grocery procurement across canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, and multi-category food supplies serving state institutions, school districts, and corrections facilities, but none specifically target non-GMO kohlrabi or comparable specialty canned vegetables.

State and local procurement under this code, where it does occur, would serve institutional food service operations—school nutrition programs, state health and human services facilities, and corrections departments—seeking specialty canned or jarred vegetables meeting organic or non-GMO certification standards. Recent solicitations across related food categories (canned tomatoes, fresh produce, general grocery) originate from school districts in Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia; state corrections departments in Oregon; state health and human services commissions in Texas; and school nutrition programs nationwide. The geographic spread reflects activity in the Southeast (Georgia, Missouri), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia), with additional opportunities from Texas state agencies. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato procurement (ITB S2910000016405, approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables bid (IFB HHS0017449, food and consumable products for state-supported living centers, due July 13, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, multi-category grocery procurement for 45 schools, due April 27, 2026). The absence of specific kohlrabi solicitations suggests this code sees little current activity or is rarely used as a discrete procurement vehicle; vendors in specialty canned vegetables would more likely respond to broader canned-vegetable or general grocery RFPs where line items are specified individually or through cooperative purchasing frameworks.
