UNSPSC 50407047: Opos

The type of vegetable known as opos

UNSPSC 50407047 Opos is a Commodity code covering fresh and prepared food products and food service supplies that state and local governments procure for institutional feeding operations—including fresh produce, prepared entrees, dairy, proteins, disposables, and kitchen supplies. Recent solicitations show state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, and mental health treatment centers buying under this code to stock cafeterias, canteens, and food service operations. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, and various school districts and county agencies are the primary issuing bodies, with activity concentrated in Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Florida. Work ranges from bulk commodity purchasing (white potatoes, carrots, fresh fruit and vegetables for canning and institutional use) to assembled food service packages (prepared chicken wings, french fries, prepared entrees, sauces, and serviceware) to fresh-produce snack programs.
