UNSPSC 50417047: Organic opos

The type of organic vegetable known as organic opos

UNSPSC 50417047 Organic opos (Commodity) spans fresh produce and food service items that state and local governments buy for parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and institutional food operations. Recent solicitations show the code capturing fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products including specialty milk formulations, bread and grain products meeting whole-grain specifications, and ancillary food service supplies — though the abstract code name does not fully reflect the breadth of institutional food procurement now tagged under it. Issuing bodies include county park systems, school districts, state education agencies, and healthcare coalitions; school districts appear as repeat buyers seeking line-item food bids to support National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast, with recent opportunities from Collier County Florida (ITN for concession food services at North Collier Regional Park, due March 6, 2025), Marion Health Care Coalition in Florida (RFP for produce, due August 21, 2026), Early County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB for approximately 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies, due June 8, 2026), and the State of Georgia (IFB for food supplies and kitchen products, due June 22, 2026). School district bids emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance with USDA 2024 Final Rule specifications, low-sodium and additive-free formulations, and firm pricing with escalation caps tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index benchmarks; multi-year terms with renewal options and piggybacking language are standard. Park and healthcare buys focus on vendor reliability, food safety compliance, and operational quality across multiple venues or delivery locations.
