UNSPSC 50303654: St emilion grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as st emilion grapes

UNSPSC 50303654 St. Emilion Grapes is a Commodity code that identifies wine grapes—specifically Bordeaux varietals—yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show almost no procurement activity aligned with viticulture or wine production. Instead, the tagged opportunities span fresh produce distribution for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and child care meal support across multiple states. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation activity suggests that either the code has been misapplied to these procurements or the code itself sees minimal relevant state and local demand. School districts, county boards of education, independent school systems, head start programs, and municipal food service departments dominate the issuing-body mix in the recent opportunities block, with heavy concentration in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, and Florida school nutrition programs.

The recent opportunities reveal no procurement for St. Emilion grapes or wine-related commodities. Instead, soliciting bodies are requesting fresh produce (apples, bananas, lettuce, tomatoes, strawberries, berries, root vegetables), eggs, dried fruits and nuts, and comprehensive grocery items to support child nutrition, school lunch, and senior services programs. The City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP meal program (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) and Madison Metropolitan School District's petite banana and fresh fruit contracts (RFBs 4162 and 4163, both due July 29, 2026) are representative of the actual scope—institutional food distribution, not specialty wine grapes. The code shows little relevant recent activity for wine or grape-related procurement in state and local markets. If pursuing this code, verify that opportunities are properly classified before investment in proposal development, as the current tag assignment appears to reflect data-entry or taxonomy-mapping error rather than genuine commodity demand.
