UNSPSC 50426829: Dried galanga

The type of vegetable known as galanga that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426829 Dried galanga, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly tied to this specific spice ingredient. The source records no solicitations explicitly requesting dried galanga; instead, the code appears peripherally tagged on food-service and school-nutrition procurements that span broad grocery or food-supply categories without itemizing specialty spices. State and local buyers do source dried spices and ethnic ingredients as part of larger food-service operations — primarily school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care meal services — but dried galanga itself does not surface as a line item, brand preference, or specification in any of the identified recent opportunities.

The geographic spread of food-service procurement tagged under higher-tier codes includes Texas (City of Edinburg CACFP meal program, TDCJ cafeteria foods), Illinois (IVHQ quarterly weekly food order), Oregon (ODOC dried beans), Georgia (multiple school districts and state food supplies), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI school district grocery items), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools master grocery contract). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with significant activity also from state corrections agencies, state procurement offices, and municipal child care programs. A single recent opportunity explicitly citing dried beans — the Oregon Department of Corrections' March 2026 ITB S2910000016233 for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans and the June 2026 ITB S2910000017140 for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans — demonstrates active procurement of dried legumes by state agencies. However, no corresponding solicitations for dried galanga or other dried aromatics are present in the available records, suggesting the code either receives negligible state and local volume or is rarely assigned to opportunities in this sector.
