UNSPSC 50476847: Canned or jarred organic opos

The type of organic vegetable known as organic opos that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50476847 Canned or jarred organic opos (Commodity) represents canned and jarred produce items that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and other canned vegetables as part of weekly or annual food supply contracts for cafeterias, state hospitals, supported living centers, and correctional institutions. The scope reflects commodity-level food procurement where quantity, grade, sodium content, shelf life, and delivery specifications drive purchasing decisions rather than brand preference alone.

School districts dominate issuing activity under this code, with multiple recent RFPs and IFBs from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia). State agencies—particularly the Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission—also procure regularly under this code for institutional food service. Geographic spread centers on the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon) with active procurement cycles; Texas and Missouri school districts round out recent activity. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000016405, due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 AM PST, with 5% Oregon-fabricated and 5% resident-bidder preferences), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (HHS0017449, due July 11, 2026, with historical value $1.5 million for prior period), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, serving 45 schools plus distribution kitchens). Canned vegetables and other shelf-stable produce items remain core line items in these multi-hundred-item food supply solicitations, evaluated primarily on compliance with USDA grades, sodium limits, shelf-life standards, delivery capability, and lowest-cost pricing.
