UNSPSC 50466830: Canned or jarred ginger root

The type of vegetable known as ginger root that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466830 Canned or jarred ginger root is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure preserved ginger products as components of broader food-service and school-nutrition solicitations, though canned ginger appears as a line item rather than a standalone procurement focus in the recent activity reviewed. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with the code surfacing in multi-category food RFPs and IFBs from Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Muscogee County School District (Georgia). State agencies and departments also procure under this code: the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (RFQ for quarterly food orders), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers), and Oregon Department of Corrections (canned items including tomato products). The recent opportunities show that canned and jarred condiments, seasonings, and preserved produce appear within large food-supply contracts serving institutional feeding operations—schools, state facilities, and correctional institutions—rather than as standalone specialty-item procurements.

Geographic concentration centers on Georgia school districts (seven of fifteen recent solicitations named), with secondary activity in Texas (HHSC and TDCJ), Missouri (Rockwood), Illinois (Veterans Home), Oregon (Corrections), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Recent representative opportunities include Ben Hill County Schools' school food bid (IFB, due June 15, 2026) covering multiple food categories with canned items specified under USDA standards and Buy American provisions; Rockwood R-VI School District's dual grocery procurements (IFB, due April 29, 2026) for over 900 line items with firm fixed pricing and allowance for midterm adjustments on manufacturer price increases of 5 percent or greater; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables solicitation (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) serving state supported living centers with estimated historical value of $1.5 million; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. Canned ginger root and similar preserved condiments are embedded in these institutional procurement flows—evaluated on compliance with product specifications, USDA grades, sodium content limits, shelf-life requirements, and delivery terms rather than as specialized items commanding premium pricing.
