UNSPSC 50624205: Non GMO rowel trero kohlrabi purees

The variety of Non GMO kohlrabi known as Non GMO rowel trero 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 50624205 Non GMO rowel trero kohlrabi purees (Commodity) sees active procurement activity among state and local agencies purchasing food products for institutional foodservice, though the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically requesting kohlrabi purees or the branded product nominally described by the code. Instead, state and local buyers under this code area are acquiring fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and consumable supplies to support school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state health and human services centers, and veterans' homes. The mix of issuing bodies spans school districts (elementary through high school foodservice), state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and institutional living centers across multiple states. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools' food bid for multiple school locations (due June 15, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITBs for canned tomatoes and tomato paste (due dates February 9 and March 9, 2026 respectively), all solicited through Invitations for Bid or Requests for Quote with firm, fixed pricing and FOB Destination delivery terms.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional recent solicitations from Missouri school districts, Illinois veterans' homes, and Virginia school systems. State and local buyers emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, minimum shelf-life requirements (typically 12 months), sodium limits, and delivery to multiple dispersed locations on fixed schedules. Contract values range from under $25,000 for smaller school districts to $4.5 million maximum potential value for multi-year statewide Texas health and human services awards. Evaluation typically prioritizes lowest responsive bid from a responsible vendor meeting specification compliance, though some procuring bodies (notably school districts and state health facilities) reserve discretion to award to multiple vendors by line item. Payment cycles run 30–90 days from delivery or invoice receipt, with price adjustment clauses often tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service indices or Consumer Price Index data. The code shows no recent opportunities specifically named as kohlrabi purees; the commodity designation may reflect legacy taxonomy alignment rather than current procurement reality in this institutional foodservice space.
