UNSPSC 50417047: Organic opos

The type of organic vegetable known as organic opos

UNSPSC 50417047 Organic opos is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal designation does not align with current solicitation practice — recent opportunities tagged under this code are instead requesting bids on conventional fresh produce, fruits, vegetables, eggs, and dairy products for school nutrition programs, child nutrition services, and state agency food operations, with no emphasis on organic sourcing or organic certification requirements. The mismatch between code taxonomy and actual buying suggests either misclassification of opportunities in the state and local database or abandonment of the code in favor of parent-tier or sibling codes for broader commodity scope.

Recent opportunities show school districts and school nutrition cooperatives as the primary issuing bodies, with activity concentrated in Georgia and Texas. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an RFP for line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026, encompassing 300+ food items across proteins, dairy, vegetables, and grains for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. Northside Independent School District in Bexar County, Texas solicited sealed bids for fresh produce for child nutrition via RFP 2026-048 due May 7, 2026, requiring USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance and Texas-grown produce priority. The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative on February 4, 2026, for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two geographic areas, with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Additional solicitations from Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Austin Independent School District (Texas) document comparable fresh-produce and food-service procurement patterns, with response dates ranging from March through June 2026. No current procurement under this code specifically requires organic certification or organic-only sourcing.
