UNSPSC 50614304: Canned or jarred Non GMO purple vienna kohlrabi

The variety of Non GMO kohlrabi known as Non GMO purple vienna 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 50614304 Canned or jarred Non GMO purple vienna kohlrabi is a Commodity code that sees minimal and misaligned state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for the specific product named in the code—canned or jarred purple vienna kohlrabi, whether Non GMO or otherwise. Instead, the nine state and local opportunities posted between May and October 2026 request bids on broad food categories including canned vegetables, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, proteins, and food service supplies. The only directly relevant citation appears in the Gwinnett County IWQ for shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026), which lists "canned vegetables" as one of 35 line items but does not isolate kohlrabi or any specific vegetable variety. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicitations reference canned and frozen vegetables generically within much larger consumable-food packages, but do not specify kohlrabi. The source provides no evidence that state or local governments are actively procuring canned or jarred purple vienna kohlrabi as a standalone item or in measurable volume under this Commodity code.

The geographic spread and issuing-body mix reflect general institutional food service demand rather than activity under this code: Texas Health and Human Services Commission (state supported living centers and hospitals), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state agencies, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice all conduct food procurement regularly. However, none of these opportunities are tagged to this Commodity code with actual purchase orders for the named product. Without evidence of recent state or local solicitations specifically requesting canned or jarred Non GMO purple vienna kohlrabi, this code does not represent a current procurement opportunity and should be deprioritized in favor of broader food-category codes that align with actual institutional buying patterns.
