UNSPSC 50426830: Dried ginger root

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

UNSPSC 50426830 Dried ginger root (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers dried ginger root and related dried spices, but the recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations for ginger or ginger-containing products. Instead, the identified opportunities span dried beans (kidney, black, pinto, and red), multi-category food supply for institutional meal programs, and general cafeteria food products for correctional and educational facilities. These opportunities fall outside the scope of dried ginger root procurement and suggest the code either receives limited activity or the available opportunities have been miscoded relative to their actual product scope.

State and local issuing bodies procuring dried legumes and institutional food supplies—including the Georgia Department of Corrections, City of Edinburg Texas, State of Oregon, State of Illinois, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Georgia, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice—represent a mix of corrections agencies, municipal governments, and state purchasing divisions. Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Oregon, and Texas, with opportunities posted between May and October 2026 and response dates spanning May through October 2026. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 RFQ for approximately 42,500 pounds of triple-cleaned pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 (with a 10% Oregon-based evaluation preference and prior-year incumbent pricing at $0.493 per pound), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 IFB for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution centers, extended to May 4, 2026, with firm all-inclusive pricing and FOB destination delivery to six Texas warehouses. These opportunities indicate robust activity in dried commodity food procurement for institutional use, though none directly engage the ginger-root code as written.
