UNSPSC 50426847: Dried opos

The type of vegetable known as opos that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426847 Dried opos, a Commodity code, covers dried legume procurement for state and local institutional food service — specifically dried beans in various varieties procured for correctional facilities, school meal programs, and state agency kitchens. State and local buyers under this code include state corrections departments, state procurement offices acting on behalf of criminal-justice agencies, municipal school districts, and state agencies sourcing for institutional dining. The work involves specification of grade standards, moisture content, foreign-material thresholds, and delivery logistics for bulk institutional cooking; beans are typically triple-cleaned and must meet USDA grading or equivalent standards, with FOB destination delivery to warehouse or central distribution points.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois.
