Fresh produce - for delivery 07/15/26

Cusumano & Sons Inc (vendor number V00003399) was awarded an Open Market Small Purchase contract by Murphysboro Life Skills Re-Entry in Illinois for the provision of fresh produce and prepared food items. The contract, designated 27-426DOC-MURPH-P-99131, is valued at $436 and runs from July 9, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The deliverables consist of nine line items encompassing fresh fruits, vegetables, and salad products, including bananas, celery, onions, bell peppers, pre-tossed salad in 20-pound boxes, fresh apples by the case, baking potatoes by the case, cabbage, and red potatoes.

The contract specifications indicate relatively modest quantities of individual produce items, with unit prices ranging from $0.26 to $25.95 per unit or case. The combination of bulk fresh produce procurement suggests these items are intended to support meal preparation or food service operations at the Murphysboro Life Skills Re-Entry facility, likely serving the organization's residential or program participants. The low overall contract value and small purchase procurement method are consistent with routine food service supply replenishment by a local vendor.
