DOC - Jack CC - Produce to be delivered week of 8/5/25 - WFB

Ron's Produce Co., Inc. has been awarded an Open Market Small Purchase contract by the Jacksonville Correctional Center (JACKSONVILLECC426) in Illinois for the provision of various fresh produce and related items. The contract, valued at $2,174.50, covers the period from July 28, 2025, to June 30, 2026, and encompasses a comprehensive range of agricultural products including apples (Fuji, Gala, Gold, or Red Delicious varieties), oranges, green cabbage, red or white potatoes, lettuce, baby carrots, distilled water, celery, and onions.

The contract specifies detailed requirements for each line item, such as minimum size specifications for apples (2 1/3 to 3 inches), packaging standards for produce (e.g., 113-count tray packs, 50-pound boxes), and quality designations like US #1 for potatoes and cabbage. The procurement appears to be designed to support the nutritional needs of the Jacksonville Correctional Center, with an emphasis on fresh, high-quality produce that meets specific size, packaging, and quality standards. The short-term nature of the contract suggests it may be part of a recurring procurement strategy for the correctional facility.
