Produce for 6/17/26

Ron's Produce Co., Inc. (Vendor ID V00002236) was awarded an Open Market Small Purchase contract by Stateville Correctional Center in Illinois for the procurement of fresh fruits and vegetables. The contract, designated 26-426DOC-STATE-P-96971, carries a total contract value of $9,599.00 with a performance period from May 22, 2026, through June 30, 2026. The specified commodities include apricots, bearberries, cranberries, currants, and dates, classified under both the United Nations Standard Products and Services Code (UNSPSC) system and the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) code categories for fresh fruits and fresh vegetables.

As a small purchase procurement mechanism, this contract represents a limited-scope acquisition intended to supply fresh produce to Stateville Correctional Center operations. The compressed performance timeline of approximately five weeks indicates a short-term procurement requirement. The award demonstrates the facility's direct vendor engagement for perishable commodity sourcing through open market competitive procedures rather than established indefinite delivery contracts or cooperative agreements.
