UNSPSC 50624203: Non GMO lanro kohlrabi purees

The variety of Non GMO kohlrabi known as Non GMO lanro kohlrabi. 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 50624203 Non GMO lanro kohlrabi purees is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, sees little or no relevant purchasing. The code's nominal scope — specialty vegetable purees — does not align with the actual work being solicited under it. Recent opportunities posted to this code span broad food procurement for institutional cafeterias, food service operations at state facilities, and school nutrition programs, encompassing shelf-stable staples (canned tomatoes, peanut butter, jelly, proteins, rice, pasta), prepared foods (french fries, chicken wings, burritos), fresh and frozen produce, dairy products, and food service supplies. None of the posted solicitations target kohlrabi purees or specialty non-GMO vegetable products; instead, they reflect routine commodity food distribution for state health and human services facilities, state-supported living centers, correctional institutions, school districts, and county social services operations.

The issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple solicitations for state-supported living centers and hospitals), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), the State of Illinois, and the State of Georgia. The geographic spread centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with activity also in Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (consumables foods for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, bids due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables, quotes due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026 at $13.75 per case in the prior award), and Ben Hill County Schools' food bid for multiple categories of fresh, frozen, and dry goods across four schools (bids due June 15, 2026). The code shows no meaningful specialization in non-GMO or puree products and warrants a skip for vendors focused on niche vegetable processing.
