contents Toric codes are a type of evaluation codes introduced by J.P. Hansen in 2000. They are produced by evaluating (a vector space composed by) polynomials at the points of $(\mathbb{F}_q^*)^s$, the monomials of these polynomials being related to a certain polytope. Toric codes related to hypersimplices are the result of the evaluation of a vector space of square-free homogeneous polynomials of degree $d$. The dimension and minimum distance of toric codes related to hypersimplices have been determined by Jaramillo et al. in 2021. The next-to-minimal weight in the case $d = 1$ has been determined by Jaramillo-Velez et al. in 2023. In this work we use tools from Gröbner basis theory to determine the next-to-minimal weight of these codes for $d$ such that $3 \leq d \leq \frac{s - 2}{2}$ or $\frac{s + 2}{2} \leq d < s$.
