IDOC-Lawrence-Weekly Fresh Produce

S & L Produce, Inc. has been awarded an Open Market Small Purchase contract by the Lawrence Correctional Center in Illinois, with a contract value of $1,613.75. The contract period spans from July 25, 2025, to June 30, 2026, and involves the procurement of various fresh produce items for the correctional facility. The line items include tossed salad in 2-10 pound poly bags, U.S. #1 Jumbo carrots with a 5" minimum length, U.S. #1 Pascal celery, U.S. #1 Northern Yellow onions, Green U.S. #1 cabbage, bananas with a 6" minimum length, and U.S. #1 potatoes in 100-count per 50-pound cases.

The contract, identified by the reference number 26-426DOC-LAWRE-P-84183, appears to be a standard produce supply agreement for the Lawrence Correctional Center. While specific unit of measure details are not provided, the specification of product grades and sizes suggests a rigorous procurement standard typical of government institutional food service contracts. The relatively modest contract value indicates this is likely a smaller-scale, potentially recurring procurement to support the nutritional needs of the correctional facility's meal services.
