IDOC-Lawrence-Weekly Fresh Produce

S & L Produce, Inc. has been awarded an Open Market Small Purchase contract (26-426DOC-LAWRE-P-87881) by the Lawrence Correctional Center in Illinois for the provision of fresh produce. The contract, valued at $1,639.50, covers the procurement of various agricultural products including tossed salad, carrots, green cabbage, celery, yellow onions, potatoes, and bananas, with specific quality and sizing requirements for each item. The products are designated with specific stock numbers and must meet U.S. Department of Agriculture Grade #1 standards for most items.

The contract period spans from October 17, 2025, to June 30, 2026, indicating an approximately nine-month performance timeline. The line items specify detailed product characteristics, such as minimum lengths for carrots and bananas, crate specifications for celery, and count requirements for potatoes. While the unit of measure is not explicitly defined for each line item, the contract appears to be structured as a supply agreement for the correctional center's food service operations, ensuring a consistent and standardized produce procurement process.
