UNSPSC 50476829: Canned or jarred organic galanga

The type of organic vegetable known as organic galanga that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50476829 Canned or jarred organic galanga, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line that state and local governments buy primarily as part of broader food service procurement for institutional food operations—state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. Recent solicitations show that this code sits within larger consumables food buys that span dozens or hundreds of line items across proteins, vegetables, condiments, and supplies; galanga, when specified at all, appears as a single line item among many in mixed food service RFPs and IFBs. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Public Health), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and specialized state procurement divisions (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's office). State-supported living centers and correctional facilities appear as repeat buyers, particularly in Texas, where multiple solicitations from HHSC overlap in timing and scope.

The most active geography centers on Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, due October 23, 2026), which bundled 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with estimated annual cases ranging from 1 to 24 per item and required FOB Destination delivery within seven days of order; the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 canned-tomato IFB (7,616 cases at $13.75 per case from the prior February purchase, with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences); and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including sauces and canned proteins, due October 19, 2026, for the Department of Community Services). The code shows moderate recent activity with clear institutional demand, though galanga as an individual line item remains marginal within these much-larger food service aggregations.
