UNSPSC 50303623: Lambrusco grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as lambrusco grapes

UNSPSC 50303623 Lambrusco grapes, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The recent-opportunities dataset contains no solicitations explicitly requesting lambrusco grapes or wine grapes. Instead, the tagged opportunities overwhelmingly solicit fresh produce — apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, berries, and other table fruits and vegetables — for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The mismatch between the code name and the actual procurement activity signals that this Commodity sits outside active state and local buying patterns, at least in the records reviewed.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing fresh produce contracts span school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin; DeSoto County Schools in Mississippi; Hancock County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, and Dougherty County Board of Education in Georgia), corrections and mental health departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), municipalities (City of Bridgeport Connecticut, City of San Antonio, City of Edinburg Texas), counties (Collier County Florida, Marion Health Care Coalition), and nonprofit child care and senior services agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas, San Antonio Senior Services). Recent solicitations cluster in the South — Texas, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi — and Midwest (Wisconsin, Illinois, Connecticut), with contract values ranging from $78,000 annually (Madison Metropolitan School District petite bananas, RFB 4162, July 2026) to $969,460.94 (Head Start of Greater Dallas grocery products, June 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted at least three fresh produce solicitations since late September 2026 (IW267420, IW267411, IW267376), signaling repeat demand. Issuing bodies consistently use RFB (Request for Bid), RFQ (Request for Quote), IFB (Invitation for Bid), and ITN (Invitation to Negotiate) notice types, with response windows typically two to four weeks and emphasis on Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, food-safety certifications, and delivery logistics. Set-asides and preferences include small-business set-asides (Illinois procurements), MBE/WBE status evaluation points (Collier County, Bridgeport, Head Start), local-vendor preferences (Edinburg Texas, Collier County, Madison Wisconsin, Bartow County Georgia), and diverse-owned business certifications (multiple school districts). This code does not report state and local lambrusco grape procurement activity.
