Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University awarded contract A208_P4852976 to Kroger Limited Partnership 1 on October 7, 2026. The contract carries a cumulative value of $68, representing a nominal contractual engagement. While the specific products and services deliverables are not detailed in the award documentation provided, the contractor's classification as a retail grocery operator suggests the contract likely involves food service, catering, or provision of grocery items to support university operations or affiliated programs.

The contract remains active as of the award date of October 7, 2026, though specific contract performance period dates are not specified in the available documentation. The place of performance can be reasonably inferred to be located in Virginia, consistent with the contracting organization's primary campus location in Blacksburg, Virginia. The minimal contract value warrants noting that this appears to be either a pilot initiative, a limited-scope procurement, or a blanket purchase agreement framework with nominal initial funding.
