UNSPSC 50436847: Dried organic opos

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

UNSPSC 50436847 Dried organic opos, a Commodity code, names a narrow product category that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — correctional facilities, child care programs, schools, and state agencies. In practice, the recent opportunities show state and local buyers soliciting dried beans across multiple varieties (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans) for bulk institutional cooking and meal preparation, with specifications typically requiring USDA-consistent grading, triple-cleaning to remove debris and foreign material, defined moisture and defect limits, and compliance with FDA, USDA, HACCP, and Good Manufacturing Practice standards. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state purchasing offices procuring on behalf of multiple agencies, correctional industries divisions, cities managing child and adult care food programs, and state departments of corrections. Delivery is specified as FOB destination with all-inclusive pricing covering freight, fuel surcharges, and handling; palletization on standard four-way wooden pallets is common, and minimum shelf-life requirements (typically one year remaining before best use by date) apply.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast. The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) issued a bid on June 5, 2026 (due June 19, 2026) for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation adjustment (5% for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon, 5% for Oregon-headquartered bidders), delivery to the ODOC Central Distribution Center in Salem within 45 days, and a historical reference price of $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA; the State of Oregon issued a separate solicitation on August 7, 2026 (due August 21, 2026) for dried black beans, triple-cleaned, for institutional use statewide. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ (92100ERFQ0020612027) on October 2, 2026 (due October 9, 2026) for kidney beans in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive delivery pricing. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 on August 11, 2026 for child care meal program supplies including dried beans and other food items serving approximately 400 children, with a Texas local-vendor preference and daily delivery required Monday through Friday before noon. No activity appears under the "organic opos" label; the recent opportunities are tagged to this code but solicited standard dried beans without organic certification or process specification.
