The Florida Department of Children and Families awarded a blanket purchase order (Contract No. C79864) valued at $775,000.00 for the delivery of frozen food items to support daily meal operations at Northeast Florida State Hospital. The contract period runs from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, and specifically requires the provision of warehouse stock frozen meat items for delivery to the facility's dietary department. This procurement supersedes a prior contract (C5BBFC) and is administered through the OMNIA Cooperative Purchasing Alliance.

The blanket purchase order grants purchasing authority exclusively to designated personnel within the Department of Children and Families, with Susie Hermann serving as the primary contact and the Purchasing Department as the authorized user. The vendor has warranted that prices charged to DCF will not exceed those offered to its most favored customers for equivalent quantities. The contract terminates on June 30, 2027, or upon expenditure of the total dollar amount, whichever occurs first. Either party may terminate the agreement with thirty days' written notice, and the State reserves the right to cancel immediately if products or services fail to meet departmental performance standards. The contract is subject to annual legislative appropriation.
