UNSPSC 50466824: Canned or jarred diakon

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

UNSPSC 50466824 Canned or jarred diakon, a Commodity code, sees active procurement from school districts and institutional food service operations buying preserved vegetables for cafeteria and facility meal programs. State and local governments soliciting under this code are predominantly school nutrition programs across multiple districts, state health and human services agencies operating correctional facilities and state hospitals, and institutional food service operations serving student and resident populations. Recent opportunities reflect broader food supply and consumables procurements where preserved vegetables like canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and other shelf-stable produce appear as line items within larger food service contracts rather than standalone specialty purchases.

School districts across Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), Illinois (State of Illinois Veterans Home), and Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections) have issued food procurement solicitations in the first half of 2026 where canned vegetables feature as specified line items. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) seeking food products including canned goods for state supported living centers statewide with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases with prior pricing at $13.75 per case); and Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food bid (PE61000NONST2027000000006, due June 15, 2026) encompassing multiple food categories with canned fruits and vegetables specified. School district procurements typically run July through June fiscal years with firm fixed pricing for initial contract periods and permitted midterm adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index benchmarks; contracts include multiple renewal options and emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP plan implementation, and compliance with Child Nutrition Program standards.
