IVHM FY 26 Produce Week of 9/15/25

T. Castro Produce, Inc. has been awarded an Open Market Small Purchase contract (26-497DVA-MANTE-P-86303) by the Manteno Veterans Home, located in Illinois. The contract, valued at $5,104.46, covers the provision of produce and meat products, with a performance period from September 12, 2025, to June 30, 2026. The procurement involves two primary line items: a Produce Order and Meat Overages, both designated as "3PS - Sent" (likely indicating a three-part system shipping process).

The contract is specifically for the Manteno Veterans Home, a state-level facility, and represents a targeted procurement to supply food-related goods. The Open Market Small Purchase classification suggests a streamlined acquisition process for relatively low-value goods, typical of routine institutional supply chain management. While specific details of the produce and meat products are not provided in the source document, the contract demonstrates a structured approach to meeting the nutritional needs of the veterans' facility through a local vendor.
