IDOC-DCT produce DL 8-14-DRO

Ron's Produce Co., Inc. has been awarded an Open Market Small Purchase contract by the Decatur Correctional Center (DECATURCC426) located in Illinois. The contract, valued at $1,069.00, covers the procurement of various fresh produce and dairy products, with a performance period from August 12, 2025, to June 30, 2026. The line items include a comprehensive range of agricultural products such as apples (Red/Golden Delicious), bananas, oranges, peppers, head lettuce, romaine lettuce, potatoes (red and white), onions, and additional items like sour cream, cottage cheese, jalapeños, and fresh cilantro.

The contract specifics indicate precise quality standards for the produce, with requirements such as US #1 grade for apples, oranges, and potatoes, and specific packaging instructions like 125-count apple cases, 138-count orange cases, and 50-pound bags for potatoes and onions. The procurement appears to be specifically for the Decatur Correctional Center, suggesting these food items will be used for institutional food service. The small purchase classification and relatively modest contract value of $1,069.00 indicate this is likely a routine, short-term supply contract for the correctional facility's dietary needs.
