UNSPSC 50303631: Montepulciano grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as montepulciano grapes

UNSPSC 50303631 Montepulciano grapes (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The single opportunity explicitly tagged to this code — a Santa Clara County dried fruits and nuts procurement for a county correctional facility — does not involve Montepulciano grapes or fresh grapes of any kind, instead covering raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans. The recent opportunities block contains numerous fresh produce solicitations from school districts and municipalities across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California, but these are generalist fresh fruit and vegetable procurements that do not isolate or specify Montepulciano grapes as a distinct line item.

State and local buyers in the opportunities block are primarily school nutrition programs (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Madison Metropolitan School District, Bulloch County Schools, Henry County Schools, and many Georgia districts), municipal food services (City of Bridgeport for school meals, City of San Antonio for senior services), and child care operators (City of Edinburg CACFP, Head Start of Greater Dallas). These issuing bodies procure fresh produce in bulk for institutional meal service, but the specifications and line-item requests focus on commodity produce varieties—apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, berries, and seasonal items—with no documented demand for premium wine-grape cultivars such as Montepulciano. The code does not appear to reflect state and local procurement practice at present, and pursuit is not recommended without market research confirming whether Montepulciano grape procurement occurs outside the posted-opportunity channel.
