UNSPSC 50486847: Opos purees

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

UNSPSC 50486847 Opos purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy as prepared fruit and vegetable products within broader child nutrition, institutional food service, and state facility feeding programs. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show school districts, state departments of corrections, and state health and human services agencies procuring canned tomato products, fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive food supply contracts that incorporate pureed or processed vegetable items as line-item components within larger food service procurement. The issuing bodies span school nutrition programs across multiple states (Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, Virginia, Texas, and Oregon), state corrections departments, and state health agencies serving hospitals and supported living centers. While the code nominally describes opos purees specifically, recent opportunities actually reflect demand for canned tomato products, fresh produce staples, and grocery items in which processed fruits and vegetables appear as subordinate line items rather than primary procurement focus.

Geographic activity centers in the Southeast (Georgia, including multiple school districts in Savannah-Chatham, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County, and Burke County; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri) and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections), with additional activity in Texas (HHSC statewide food procurement), Illinois (Veterans Home Quincy), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). The most recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, IFB notice type, historical value $1.5 million for the prior period), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due April 6, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products across multiple categories including fresh and frozen produce and meats (due June 15, 2026, with Buy American Act compliance required). School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, with individual school districts and multi-district cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts) bidding jointly; state agencies follow as secondary users, particularly corrections departments and health agencies serving residential facilities. Procurement cycles are seasonal, clustering around May through July for the following academic or fiscal year. Contract values where disclosed range from $1.5 million to $9 million annually; payment terms typically run Net 30 days post-delivery with firm pricing requirements for initial periods and modest escalation provisions tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index indices.
