UNSPSC 50303659: Teroldego grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as teroldego grapes

UNSPSC 50303659 Teroldego grapes, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity currently underway under this designation. State and local solicitations tagged with this code are overwhelmingly for broad fresh produce supply to institutional food services — correctional facilities, school districts, senior nutrition programs, and mental health centers — rather than the specific varietal grape implied by the code name. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health, county school nutrition programs, county boards of education, municipal food service divisions, and specialized service providers operating child and adult care food programs. Recent solicitations show Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh fruit and vegetable supply to multiple food warehouses and facilities; school districts in Georgia, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Illinois bidding fresh produce for National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs; and specialized food service contractors seeking produce to support CACFP meal operations for children and seniors.

Activity concentrates in the South and Midwest, with the highest volume in Georgia school districts and Texas institutional facilities. Representative recent procurements include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Fresh Fruit & Vegetables solicitation (IW267376, Palestine facility, RFP due October 19, 2026), Bryan County Schools fresh produce bid (PE55308NONST2027000000012, sealed bid due May 27, 2026), DeSoto County School District fresh produce distribution (3170035984, sealed bid due June 22, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce for school year 2026-27 (PE67080NONST2027000000013, IFB due June 26, 2026), and Dougherty County Board of Education fresh produce (PE64710NONST2027000000078, sealed bid due June 16, 2026). These solicitations emphasize domestic sourcing, HACCP compliance, temperature-controlled delivery, Buy American provisions where applicable, and competitive pricing with firm pricing through the contract term — typically one school or fiscal year with renewal options. The mismatch between the code's specific varietal name and the actual institutional bulk-produce procurement activity suggests either legacy taxonomy misclassification or a data-entry error in the source material.
