Ron's Produce Co., Inc. (Vendor ID V00002236) was awarded an Open Market Small Purchase contract by Logan Correctional Center in Illinois for the procurement of fresh produce and related food items. The contract, awarded April 30, 2026, with a completion date of June 30, 2026, carries a total contract value of $3,242.00. The procurement encompasses eight line items of fresh vegetables and fruits, including cabbage, lettuce, potatoes, head lettuce, apples, green peppers, and onions, with quantities ranging from three to twenty units per item. One line item allows for flexible sourcing of seasonal fruit (bananas, pears, oranges, or plums) based on cost optimization at the time of delivery.

The contract represents a standard food service supply arrangement for correctional facility operations. All line items are designated as "Sent," indicating confirmation of delivery specifications. Unit prices for individual items range from $29.50 to $77.50, with the majority of produce supplied in bulk quantities typical of institutional food service operations. As a small purchase contract type, this award bypassed formal competitive bidding procedures, allowing Logan Correctional Center to procure essential food items through an expedited acquisition process within the established small purchase threshold.
