UNSPSC 50303621: Grenache blanc grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as grenache blanc grapes

UNSPSC 50303621 Grenache blanc grapes, a Commodity code, represents fresh produce ingredients that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs, child care food service operations, and senior nutrition initiatives. However, the recent state and local opportunities in the source block show virtually no direct solicitation for Grenache blanc grapes specifically; instead, jurisdictions are buying broad fresh produce categories—apples, bananas, berries, vegetables, and generic "fresh produce"—through school nutrition contracts, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs, farm-to-school initiatives, and multi-item grocery bids. The code's nominal scope does not align with current procurement activity, which emphasizes commodity produce and prepared items rather than wine-grape varieties.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing fresh produce solicitations span school districts (Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Henry County Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, and dozens of others across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California), municipal child care and senior nutrition programs (City of Edinburg Texas, City of San Antonio, Head Start of Greater Dallas), and cooperative purchasing consortia (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Evaluation criteria across these opportunities weight cost at 30–50 percent, with secondary emphasis on quality, delivery reliability, vendor qualifications, and compliance with Buy American provisions and HACCP food safety standards. The most active recent opportunities cluster in Georgia school districts (Bulloch, Bryan, Glynn, Hancock, Dougherty, Liberty, Muscogee, and Savannah-Chatham counties), with additional volume in Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Edinburg), Florida (Hillsborough County), and multi-state cooperative vehicles. Representative solicitations include Savannah-Chatham County Public School System BID 26-34 (72 fresh produce line items, April 23, 2026 response date, IFB), GEC Buying Cooperative SN 26-004 (approximately $5.5 million aggregate estimated annual value across two geographic areas in Georgia, March 4, 2026 response date, RFP), Hillsborough County Public Schools 26039RFPDST (fresh specialty fruits and vegetables for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, March 11, 2026 response date, RFP with $600,000 estimated annual budget), and Austin Independent School District 26RFP034 (fresh produce and beverages across all district food service locations, March 11, 2026 response date, RFP). Wine-grape procurement—if present at all in state and local markets—does not surface in current activity; purchasing offices are buying table produce, not specialty agricultural inputs for beverage production.
