UNSPSC 50323631: Dried montepulciano grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as montepulciano grapes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50323631 Dried montepulciano grapes is a Commodity code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement solicitations. The code name refers to a specific dried varietal grape product, yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code actually solicit broad fresh produce assortments, cafeteria food items spanning proteins through condiments, and dried prunes — none of which align with the narrow scope of dried montepulciano grapes. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual goods being purchased suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that dried montepulciano grapes represent a negligible procurement activity within state and local food service contracting.

The tagged opportunities instead reflect what state and local agencies actually buy under this code number: fresh produce by the case for school nutrition programs (apples, berries, root vegetables, citrus, leafy greens, melons); multi-category food commodities for school lunch centers and correctional facility cafeterias (beef, poultry, cheese, pasta, flour, canned vegetables, condiments); and incidental dried fruits such as prunes. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state procurement divisions (Georgia and Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state departments supplying institutional food service. Recent opportunities posted between May and June 2026 include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce IFB due June 26, 2026; Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center commodities RFB due June 26, 2026; Georgia state food supplies IFB due June 22, 2026; and TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB due May 4, 2026 (extended from April 21). Activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Connecticut. No recent solicitation activity is grounded in dried montepulciano grapes specifically.
