UNSPSC 50303663: Viognier grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as viognier grapes

UNSPSC 50303663 Viognier grapes is a Commodity code. State and local governments do not buy viognier grapes directly under this code. The recent opportunities posted against it reflect a systematic mismatch between the code's narrow specificity and actual purchasing behavior: the sourced records show school districts, correctional facilities, senior services agencies, health-care coalitions, and other issuing bodies procuring broad categories of fresh produce — bananas, apples, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, broccoli, and mixed fruit-and-vegetable supplies — to support institutional food service operations including school nutrition programs, corrections dining, child care meal programs, and senior center meal delivery. The Commodity code names a single wine-grape variety that does not appear in any of the posted solicitations. Viognier acquisition does not surface as a state or local procurement line item in the current activity block.

Recent solicitations tagged to this code instead describe institutional fresh-produce supply chains. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted three fresh fruit and vegetable RFQs (IW267376, IW267411, IW267420) with October 2026 response dates for delivery to correctional facilities in Palestine, Snyder, and Huntsville. Madison Metropolitan School District issued RFBs 4162 and 4163 (July 2026 deadline) for petite bananas and ready-to-eat fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with geographic sourcing requirements within 400 miles of Wisconsin and local-vendor preference scoring. Bartow County and Hancock County school systems in Georgia, DeSoto County School District in Mississippi, and Early County Schools in Georgia all posted sealed-bid or RFP fresh-produce solicitations between May and June 2026 for school-year 2026–27 contracts, requiring domestic sourcing, HACCP plans, and refrigerated delivery to multiple school sites. The geographic spread reflects activity concentrated in Texas, Wisconsin, Georgia, Mississippi, and Connecticut, with school districts as the dominant issuing body followed by state corrections departments and senior services agencies. The Commodity code assignment appears to be a data-quality or system error rather than a reflection of actual procurement intent.
