UNSPSC 50476830: Canned or jarred organic ginger root

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

UNSPSC 50476830 Canned or jarred organic ginger root, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The fourteen opportunities tagged with this code span school nutrition programs, state correctional and health facilities, and veterans' homes across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri — but nearly all procurement documents describe general food products, fresh produce, canned vegetables, dairy, and prepared entrees with no specific mention of organic ginger root as a line item or specification. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia); state agencies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs. The geographic spread is concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia especially) and Texas, with secondary activity in the Midwest and Pacific Northwest.

The solicitations themselves — represented by Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026), Texas HHSC's supplemental food and consumables IFB (due July 13, 2026), and Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomatoes ITB (due June 19, 2026) — indicate that state and local governments buy canned and jarred goods primarily as commodity staples (tomato paste, canned tomatoes, whole grains, condiments, and standard proteins) rather than specialty or organic items. The code appears to be a catalog placeholder with limited real-world demand; no recent opportunity explicitly requires or specifies organic ginger root, and the procurement language across all opportunities emphasizes USDA grades, Buy American compliance, and cost-plus-percentage pricing models tied to wholesale market indices rather than specialty organic sourcing. Pursuit of this code carries low priority unless a firm possesses established shelf space in school nutrition or institutional food-service distribution channels and can aggregate organic ginger root with broader commodity offerings.
