UNSPSC 50303650: Sauvignon blanc grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as sauvignon blanc grapes

UNSPSC 50303650 Sauvignon blanc grapes is a Commodity code that nominally identifies wine-grape sourcing, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct alignment with the code's name. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect institutional food procurement — fresh produce supply for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, mental health centers, child care food programs, and regional parks. State and local governments are buying fresh fruits and vegetables (apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, tomatoes, peppers, and other produce) for meal service delivery, not wine-grape varietals. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health, county school boards and school nutrition programs, city departments of human services, and independent school districts across multiple states.

Recent solicitations show sustained demand across Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Wisconsin, Florida, and Connecticut. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple RFQs for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to food warehouses in Palestine, Snyder, and Huntsville (responses due October 14–19, 2026), while the Illinois Department of Corrections and Illinois Department of Mental Health have solicited fresh produce delivery under small-purchase procurement for Joliet Treatment Center and Madden Mental Health Center (quotes due August 14, 2026). School districts dominate the volume: Madison Metropolitan School District requested bids for petite bananas at an estimated annual value of $78,000 and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks for approximately 5,900 weekly servings (both due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, and Bartow County School System in Georgia have all posted IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce supply for school nutrition programs with contract terms running through June 2027. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida solicited food services at North Collier Regional Park via ITN (response due March 6, 2025). The City of Bridgeport Board of Education, Head Start of Greater Dallas, and the City of San Antonio Department of Human Services (produce market operations at senior centers) have also posted produce-related solicitations. The code assignment appears to be a data-entry error or a legacy taxonomy misapplication; vendors pursuing institutional food supply in this category should monitor state and local nutrition-program RFPs, IFBs, and RFQs directly rather than relying on UNSPSC 50303650 as a primary search signal.
