UNSPSC 50614301: Canned or jarred Non GMO azur star kohlrabi

The variety of Non GMO kohlrabi known as Non GMO azur star 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 50614301 Canned or jarred Non GMO azur star kohlrabi is a Commodity code that nominally covers specialty preserved vegetables, but recent state and local solicitations show minimal purchasing activity aligned with this specific product line. The code does appear in a sparse set of opportunities focused broadly on food procurement for state facilities, schools, and institutional cafeterias, though the recent records reflect purchases of generic canned vegetables, shelf-stable proteins, and prepared foods rather than the niche product the code describes. State and local issuing bodies posting under or near this code include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (state agency managing supported living centers and state hospitals), Georgia county school systems (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), the Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. These jurisdictions typically solicit food procurement through IFB or informal written quotes (IWQ) with annual or multi-year terms to supply cafeterias, canteens, and food service programs at institutional facilities.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017872 on August 11, 2026, for consumables and noncontract food and kitchen items for Lufkin State Supported Living Center due August 25, 2026, covering 20 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with estimated annual quantities from 1 to 24 cases per item. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division posted IFB S2910000017145 on June 5, 2026, requesting approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest in February 2026. Ben Hill County Schools in Fitzgerald, Georgia, posted IFB #26271 on May 19, 2026, seeking sealed bids for food products across multiple categories including canned vegetables due June 15, 2026. The code shows no evidence of activity focused specifically on Non GMO or azur star kohlrabi products; procurement activity centers instead on commodity food staples and institutional food service supplies at volumes and price points typical of large-scale government food distribution contracts.
