UNSPSC 50426824: Dried diakon

The type of vegetable known as diakon that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426824 Dried daikon, a Commodity code, shows sparse state and local procurement activity in recent months despite the code's specific scope. The recent opportunities block contains no actual daikon solicitations; instead, it records bids for kidney beans, pinto and red beans, black beans, and broad institutional food-supply contracts for correctional facilities, child care programs, and state procurement divisions. The code's nominal scope — dried daikon root vegetable — does not match the work being procured under this classification in the state and local market right now. State and local governments are buying dried beans, proteins, and general food staples for correctional institutions, meal programs, and warehouse distribution, not daikon.

The geographic spread of food procurement in the block spans Georgia (Georgia Correctional Industries, Georgia statewide food and supplies solicitation), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Oregon institutional beans), Texas (City of Edinburg CACFP program, Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria products), and Illinois (statewide food order). Representative recent opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026 (solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST (solicitation S2910000017705, with a 10% Oregon-sourcing and Oregon-headquarter preference combined), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products (solicitation 304T26300CF) spanning 382 line items across five geographic areas with response due May 4, 2026. The code appears misaligned with actual state and local procurement demand; pursuit should be informed by whether your firm supplies dried beans, institutional food staples, or general food commodities rather than daikon specifically.
