I’ve seen used Canon lenses described with “OMP” after the model name, for example: “EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM OMP.” What does “OMP” mean in this context?

It is not really a Canon term as much as it is an abbreviation often used on lists of used photo gear. It is shorthand for "Original Manufacturer Packaging" indicating everything in the original box when new is still with the lens.
Depending on the exact piece of equipment it could include such items as: The box itself, any instruction manuals or guides, software discs, internal plastic wrappers and other packing materials, lens caps & covers, hoods, straps, battery chargers, battery, AV cables, etc.

“OMP” is not a Canon lens designation. In used-gear listings, it commonly means Original Manufacturer Packaging.
It indicates the seller is including the original box and whatever came with the lens when it was new. Depending on the item, that may include the box, manuals, packing materials, lens caps, hood, straps, battery, charger, cables, software discs, and similar accessories.
So in your example, “OMP” describes the completeness of the used package, not an optical or feature code for the lens itself.
