UNSPSC 50466822: Canned or jarred dasheen

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

UNSPSC 50466822 Canned or jarred dasheen, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code represents a single specialty food product with limited commercial distribution, yet the sixteen recent opportunities captured under this classification span diverse food procurement across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri—encompassing weekly institutional food orders, school nutrition programs, correctional facility supplies, and health and human services facility provisioning. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific Caribbean root vegetable product) and the actual solicitations (broad-based food supply contracts for public institutions) suggests either miscoding at the source or that dasheen canned goods, if procured at all by state and local agencies, are embedded within larger line-item food bids rather than solicited as standalone commodities.

School districts dominate the recent issuing-body mix, with Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) each posting food procurement RFPs or IFBs for the 2026–2027 school year. State agencies including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, and Georgia state procurement offices also appear as repeat buyers. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri, Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026) seeking 76+ line items for delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical monthly value of $1.5 million; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026) covering fresh produce, meat, dairy, and kitchen supplies across four school locations. Buy American requirements, HACCP compliance, federal nutrition standards, and firm fixed pricing with permitted escalation tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index indices appear consistently across these solicitations.
