Milk, 1% lowfat

The California Department of State Hospitals has awarded a non-IT goods contract to the Prison Industry Authority for the procurement of milk products. The contract, identified as NON-IT Goods 0000062107, was established on September 10, 2025, with a total contract value of $68,728.20. The awarded contract encompasses two primary line items: 183,000 units of 1% lowfat milk at $0.35 per unit and 9,800 units of 1% lowfat chocolate milk at $0.38 per unit.

The contract represents a targeted procurement of dairy products for the Department of State Hospitals, likely to support institutional food service requirements. The Prison Industry Authority, as the prime contractor, will supply a total of 192,800 milk units across two specified product variants. The unit pricing strategy reflects a modest differential between standard and chocolate milk products, with a marginal price increase of $0.03 for the chocolate variant. The contract's precise period of performance is not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, though the award date of September 10, 2025, suggests a forward-looking contractual arrangement.
