UNSPSC 50323661: Dried touriga nacional grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323661 Dried touriga nacional grapes is a Commodity code representing a narrow agricultural product line that state and local governments rarely procure directly. Recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code show little alignment with its nominal scope. Of the five recent solicitations in the most-recent-opportunities block, only one—a Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for prunes—involves a dried fruit product at all; the others solicit fresh produce (Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education, Georgia state food supplies) or fresh and frozen proteins and staples (TDCJ cafeteria foods). The prunes solicitation itself specifies whole, pitted, dried U.S. Grade B prunes in 60–70 count size, not the Portuguese touriga nacional grape variety. School districts and criminal-justice agencies dominate the recent activity, with issuing bodies spanning Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, but none of these opportunities actually seek dried touriga nacional grapes or close substitutes.

The code shows no meaningful recent activity aligned to its commodity definition. When state and local procurement offices solicit dried fruits for nutrition programs or institutional food service, they typically procure commoditized dried varieties (prunes, raisins, cranberries) available from multiple domestic suppliers at scale, not specialty wine-grape varietals. Vendors should treat this code as low-signal for acquisition strategy—the mismatch between the code's specificity and the buying patterns documented here suggests either classification error in the tagging system or extremely limited demand for this product category in the state and local market.
