Ron's Produce Co., Inc. was awarded a small purchase contract (ID: 26-426DOC-LINCO-P-84822) by the Lincoln Correctional Center (LINCOLNCC426) in Illinois for the provision of various produce items. The contract, valued at $4,643.00, has a performance period from August 8, 2025, to June 30, 2026. The procurement encompasses ten distinct line items of fresh produce, including green cabbage (50# bags), baby carrots (1# bags), US #1 celery, chopped and head lettuce, yellow onions, potatoes, apples, bananas, and oranges.

The contract appears to be a standard state-level procurement for institutional food supply, specifically for the Illinois Department of Corrections. The line items are structured with specific packaging and quantity requirements, such as 120-count potato containers and 113-count apple and orange orders. The contract was executed under the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's General Services Standard Terms and Conditions (Version 23.2), which provides comprehensive guidelines for vendor performance, payment terms, and regulatory compliance. The small purchase designation suggests a streamlined acquisition process for routine institutional food service needs.
