UNSPSC 50486847: Opos purees

The type of vegetable known as opos which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486847 Opos purees is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh and processed fruit-based food products purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service operations, including state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, county senior services, and state hospital systems. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring canned and prepared food items—often alongside broader consumables and food-service supplies—rather than opos purees specifically. The code appears to map to a narrow product category that state and local procurement offices occasionally tag when purchasing mixed fruit and vegetable products for institutional canteens, cafeterias, and food-service distribution, though most recent opportunities in the data span much broader food-supply categories where opos purees would be one line item among hundreds.

State agencies dominate recent activity: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for supplemental and consumable foods serving state-supported living centers and state hospitals; the Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes and related products; and the Illinois Department of Public Health requested quarterly food orders. School districts and county governments also appear as regular buyers—Gwinnett County (Georgia) requested informal written quotes for shelf-stable food items; Burke County Public Schools and Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) posted sealed bids for comprehensive grocery procurements; and independent school districts across Texas issue routine food bids. Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon in the most recent postings, with Texas Health and Human Services alone issuing at least three separate food-consumables solicitations between May and October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include HHS0018082, a Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center with bids due October 23, 2026, encompassing 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies; IWQ 140229, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with quotes due October 19, 2026; and S2910000017145, the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with bids due June 19, 2026, featuring a 5% Oregon-resident bidder preference. The code shows steady state and local procurement activity but little evidence of opos purees as a standalone procurement focus; vendors should treat opportunities tagged with this code as components of larger institutional food-supply contracts rather than dedicated fruit-puree solicitations.
