Blanket Purchase Order for the period of July 1, 2026 - June 30, 2027 - To provide food items…

The Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) awarded a blanket purchase order valued at $500,000.00 to provide food items for daily meals at Northeast Florida State Hospital. The contract period extends from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with a unit price of $1.00 per item across 500,000 units. The contract supersedes previous purchase order C5C1B2 and is designated as C780C8. Food deliveries are directed to the hospital's dietary department, with authorized purchasing restricted to designated DCF personnel: Susie Herrmann (contact) and Linda Dumas (authorized user).

The vendor must warrant that prices charged to DCF will not exceed those offered to the vendor's most favored customers for equivalent quantities. The blanket purchase order expires on June 30, 2027, or upon expenditure of the total contract amount, whichever occurs first. Either party may terminate the agreement with thirty days' written notice, and DCF reserves the right to cancel immediately if products or services fail to meet agency performance standards. As the contract extends across fiscal years, the State of Florida's performance and payment obligations remain contingent upon annual legislative appropriation.
