UNSPSC 50417030: Organic ginger root

The type of organic vegetable known as organic ginger root

UNSPSC 50417030 Organic ginger root is a Commodity-tier code that sees minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — specialized organic produce — does not align with the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under the tag. A search of recent opportunities tagged to this code returns school nutrition RFPs and grocery procurement solicitations, nearly all of which address institutional fresh produce supply broadly (apples, bananas, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, eggs) rather than ginger root specifically. No recent solicitation explicitly names organic ginger root as a line item or required specification.

School districts and school nutrition cooperatives dominate the issuing bodies sourcing under this code's tag, including the Douglas County School System (serving a 30-district cooperative across Georgia), Muscogee County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Bulloch County School District, Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Austin Independent School District, McAllen Independent School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Early County Board of Education, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, alongside the State of Georgia's general food and produce procurement. Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast (Georgia dominates with eleven opportunities, Florida and Missouri with one each, Texas with three) and predominantly target deliveries through June or July 2026 for contracts running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Representative recent opportunities include Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce for child nutrition (due May 7, 2026), Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs to serve 30 Georgia districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One (due March 4, 2026), and Austin Independent School District's RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and a la carte beverages (due March 11, 2026). The code's activity reflects institutional food service procurement rather than specialty-crop supply; vendors pursuing this code should review the underlying fresh-produce specifications in individual RFPs to confirm ginger root appears as a line item or desired commodity before investing bid effort.
