UNSPSC 50303616: French colombard grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as french colombard grapes

UNSPSC 50303616 French colombard grapes (Commodity) represents a narrow produce category with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows no recent direct solicitations for French colombard grapes specifically; instead, state and local buyers are procuring broad fresh fruit and vegetable supplies where grapes appear as one line item among dozens or hundreds of produce offerings in larger food service contracts. The actual buying pattern under this code spans institutional food service — correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, school nutrition programs, and child care facilities — where fresh produce delivery is bundled into comprehensive meal-support contracts rather than sourced as a single varietal.

The issuing bodies are geographically dispersed across state corrections departments, state mental health agencies, county school systems, municipal transit and parks authorities, and city-administered child and senior nutrition programs. Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health, and multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bartow County, Early County) appear in recent solicitations posted from April through October 2026, but none isolate French colombard grapes as a standalone procurement. Madison Metropolitan School District's July 2026 RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks requires Wisconsin-sourced produce within 400 miles, and multiple school nutrition contracts impose Buy American provisions requiring 51% domestic agricultural content. State and local buyers emphasize delivery frequency (daily to bi-weekly), strict quality and food-safety standards (HACCP plans, USDA compliance, temperature control), and competitive pricing with volume discounts. The geographic concentration reflects southern and midwestern school districts and state agencies; no clear market leader or repeat buyer pattern emerges for this specific varietal at the Commodity level.
