UNSPSC 50303604: Cabernet franc grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as cabernet franc grapes

UNSPSC 50303604 Cabernet franc grapes is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely procure this product directly; the code captures wholesale agricultural supply through institutional food service contracts, where fresh produce vendors bundled under broader food-procurement solicitations occasionally supply specialty fruit varieties. Recent activity under the code shows minimal dedicated demand — the vast majority of produce solicitations are for general fresh fruits and vegetables (apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, berries) serving school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, mental health centers, senior services, and child care operations. A search of recent state and local opportunities reveals no isolated solicitation for cabernet franc grapes; the code appears in procurement taxonomy but not in active commodity-level buying activity. When specialty grape varieties do enter procurement, they typically appear as line items within broader fresh-produce IFBs and RFPs rather than as standalone contracts.

The issuing-body mix reflects institutional food service across multiple sectors. School districts dominate recent produce procurement (Madison Metropolitan School District, DeSoto County School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Dougherty County Board of Education), followed by state corrections and mental health departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), municipalities and senior services (City of San Antonio, City of Bridgeport, City of Edinburg), and private child care networks (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Connecticut, with secondary activity in Mississippi and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include Texas Department of Criminal Justice's RFQ for fresh fruit and vegetables to Palestine and Snyder food warehouses (due October 19 and October 14, 2026, respectively), Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated contract value $78,000), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items (due June 26, 2026). Specialty varieties like cabernet franc grapes are not featured in these procurements; generic fresh produce with high-volume, low-complexity sourcing dominates the market.
