UNSPSC 50303657: Tannat grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as tannat grapes

UNSPSC 50303657 Tannat grapes is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a single wine-grape varietal. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevance to the taxonomy entry — the most recent opportunities posted across fifteen records span fresh produce, eggs, dried fruits, nuts, and comprehensive grocery items for school nutrition programs, child care facilities, and correctional food services, with no solicitations specifically requesting tannat grapes or any wine-related procurement. The code appears to serve as a catch-all tag for produce and food-service items more broadly, disconnected from its narrow commodity definition.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with sealed-bid and RFP procurements from districts in Georgia (Glynn County, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Henry County, and Early County), Texas (Austin ISD, McAllen ISD, Edinburg city schools via Boys & Girls Club CACFP), Florida (Hillsborough County), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), and Oregon (Central Point School District #6). Regional cooperative purchasing consortia (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts, Douglas County School System as administrator) also appear. Non-school entities include the City of Bridgeport Board of Education, Head Start of Greater Dallas, San Antonio Department of Human Services, DeSoto County School District, and Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, California, and Mississippi. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 estimated annual value, due July 29, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26RFP034 for fresh fruit and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program ($600,000 estimated annual budget, due March 11, 2026), Meriden Public Schools RFP 02641 for commercial groceries and produce ($3.1 million estimated contract value, due February 25, 2026), and GEC Buying Cooperative SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across two Georgia geographic areas ($5.5 million combined estimated spending, due March 4, 2026). The code's recent activity signals moderate pursuit viability for produce distributors and food-service vendors willing to compete for school and institutional nutrition contracts in competitive sealed-bid and RFP environments, though the mismatch between the code name and actual procurement scope suggests business development teams should verify line-item specificity in solicitation documents before committing resources.
