UNSPSC 10226088: Curcuma longa

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a herbaceous plant in the Zingiberaceae family native to southwestern India. It is also known as poor man's saffron or stick in parts of Latin America, where the name is often shortened to saffron (not to be confused with Crocus sativus).

UNSPSC 10226088 Curcuma longa is a Commodity code that names turmeric — the dried rhizome of the Curcuma longa plant — as a catalogued product within the procurement taxonomy. State and local governments buying under this code are sourcing turmeric for uses spanning food service, industrial applications, wellness programs, or material stockpiling. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations aligned with this Commodity code; instead, it surfaces construction services (soil stabilization grouting, HVAC upgrades, window replacement, elevator modernization, roundabout installation, landscape and irrigation work, bridge demolition, sewer inspection, and facility repairs), supplies procurement (MRO supplies and parts), and specialized services (vactor operations, herbicide spraying, fencing, aquatic center operations) posted by Florida municipalities, Arizona cities, Connecticut towns, and other state and local issuing bodies across multiple states. The mismatch is complete — the code does not correspond to any recent state or local contracting activity captured in the source data.

This code shows little relevant recent activity. The procurement records indicate state and local agencies are actively buying construction, infrastructure, facilities, and services across dozens of categories, but none of the recent opportunities align with turmeric or spice commodity procurement under UNSPSC 10226088. If your firm pursues turmeric supply to state or local food service operations, K-12 or higher-education dining, wellness or dietary supplement programs, or industrial/chemical users, monitor this code through state purchasing portals directly rather than relying on the recent-opportunity sample here, as activity may exist but is not surfaced in the current dataset.
