UNSPSC 50323649: Dried sangiovese grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323649 Dried sangiovese grapes is a Commodity code that nominally covers dried wine-grape varieties, but recent state and local procurement activity shows little relevance to the code's scope. The source identifies five recent solicitations tagged to this code, yet only one involves any grape product at all—a Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for whole dried prunes, which are a different dried fruit entirely. The remaining four opportunities span fresh produce for school nutrition (Hancock County Schools, Georgia), mixed commodities for a school nutrition center (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), broad food and kitchen supplies (State of Georgia), and cafeteria food products across multiple protein and staple categories (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). None of these solicitations reference sangiovese grapes, dried grapes of any varietal, or wine-grape products. The code appears to serve as a catch-all or miscategorization bucket for general dried-fruit and fresh-produce solicitations rather than a true indicator of dried sangiovese grape procurement.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state procurement divisions (Georgia, Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ), and municipal purchasing departments (City of Bridgeport). Geographic spread covers Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Recent representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB, due June 26, 2026), a school year contract for over 200 line items of fresh produce with delivery to three school sites; the City of Bridgeport Commodities bid (IFB, due June 26, 2026), covering 115 line items of eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center; and the Texas TDCJ Cafeteria Food Products IFB (IFB, due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2), encompassing approximately 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and fresh and canned produce for multiple distribution points. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation content suggests this code does not reliably predict dried sangiovese grape procurement in state and local markets.
