UNSPSC 50486830: Ginger root purees

The type of vegetable known as ginger root which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486830 Ginger root purees is a Commodity code that captures specialized food ingredients and prepared food components purchased by state and local agencies for institutional food service operations. Based on recent posted opportunities, the code does not reflect active, direct procurement of ginger root purees by state or local governments; instead, state and local buyers solicit under broader food and consumables codes and include ginger-containing or ginger-derived products as line items within larger institutional food service contracts. State and local governments acquiring food under this code family are primarily health and human services agencies operating state supported living centers and psychiatric facilities, county and municipal departments of community services, state corrections departments, school nutrition programs across independent school districts, and specialized state facilities. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is a repeat buyer, appearing in multiple recent solicitations for supplemental food and consumable products serving state hospitals and state supported living centers; the Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, and several Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) also conduct regular institutional food procurement. Work solicited under the broader food and consumables family encompasses fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable proteins; dairy products; produce; grains; prepared specialty foods; condiments and sauces; and food service supplies, with delivery typically required to central distribution points or individual facility locations within seven days of order.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Texas) posted October 16, 2026, for consumable foods including prepared foods and food service supplies for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center with bids due October 23, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 (Georgia) posted October 13, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services with quotes due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 posted June 5, 2026, for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with bids due June 19, 2026; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (Georgia) posted May 19, 2026, for comprehensive food products and related items with bids due June 15, 2026.
