UNSPSC 50303649: Sangiovese grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as sangiovese grapes

UNSPSC 50303649 Sangiovese grapes, a Commodity code, rarely appears in recent state and local procurement activity. The single identified opportunity—the City of Edinburg, Texas's CACFP Meal Program RFP (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026)—does not specifically name Sangiovese grapes or wine grapes as a line item. Instead, that solicitation covers five broad supply categories (beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items) for a child and adult care food program serving approximately 400 children daily, with evaluation weighting cost at 30%, qualifications and experience at 25%, technical approach at 25%, and menu quality at 20%. State and local procurement offices issue IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce far more frequently than for wine-grape varietals; the most recent opportunities across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, and California overwhelmingly target apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and frozen or processed commodity items for school nutrition, child care, and senior services programs.

The code shows no meaningful recent activity in state and local markets. The Edinburg RFP mentions only "beverages (milk and 100% fruit juice)" and "fruits" without specifying varietal sourcing, and the broader fresh-produce procurements documented in the source—including those from school districts in Madison, Bridgeport, Dallas, DeSoto County, Hancock County, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bulloch County, and Santa Clara County—focus on commodity fruit and vegetable items intended for institutional meal service rather than wine or specialty-grape sourcing. No issuing body in the recent-opportunities dataset has solicited Sangiovese grapes or wine grapes by name. Vendors pursuing this code should verify whether the code accurately reflects actual state and local demand or whether procurement offices are applying it incorrectly to broader fresh-produce line items.
