UNSPSC 50303613: Cinsaut grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as cinsaut grapes

UNSPSC 50303613 Cinsaut grapes, a Commodity code, nominally identifies a single wine grape varietal, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the abstract classification. Recent solicitations tagged to this code actually procure fresh produce for school nutrition programs, child care food services, and senior services — including mixed fresh fruits, vegetables, and specialty items rather than cinsaut grapes specifically. The issuing-body mix reflects the fragmented nature of state and local food service procurement: school districts (elementary through high school systems across Georgia, Florida, Texas, Connecticut, Oregon, and California) dominate the recent activity, joined by county boards of education, city school departments, child and adult care food programs, Head Start agencies, and senior services divisions. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Edinburg, Texas requesting proposals for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service supplies (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) bidding for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFBs 4162 and 4163, due July 29, 2026), and the GEC Buying Cooperative (Georgia) soliciting fresh produce and eggs for 30 school districts across two geographic areas (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million). Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) also issued a significant procurement for commercial groceries, beverages, produce, and USDA Foods with an anticipated 2026-2027 contract value of approximately $3,100,000 (RFP 02641, due February 25, 2026).

Geographic concentration reflects K-12 school nutrition procurement density in the Southeast (Georgia hosts the plurality of recent opportunities, including Bulloch County, Glynn County, Henry County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County), with secondary activity in Texas (Austin, McAllen, Edinburg), Florida (Hillsborough County), Wisconsin (Madison), Connecticut (Meriden, Bridgeport), and scattered West Coast and Midwest jurisdictions. The code sees continuous posting velocity — opportunities posted as recently as July 16, 2026, and spanning back to January 2026 — but no cinsaut grape sourcing appears in the record. The mismatch between code name and actual procurement suggests either miscoding at source or administrative tag drift in state and local procurement databases. Vendors pursuing this code should verify whether their target procurement office intends mixed fresh produce supply or has identified a specific cinsaut-grape use case; the recent opportunities block supports only the former.
