About this file

This is a commodity specifications document issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare for meat and meat products procurement through local purchase proposals. The document establishes detailed specifications for proteins to be supplied to Wernersville State Hospital, covering an extensive range of beef, veal, pork, lamb, and processed meat products. The specifications include 48 distinct line items encompassing fresh beef cuts (stew meat, cubes, ground beef, patties, roasts), fresh veal products, fresh pork items (ham, chops, steaks, cubes), cured and smoked products (bacon, ham, bologna, sausages), and specialty items such as meatballs, frankfurters, pepperoni, and fully-cooked prepared products. Each item contains precise requirements regarding fat content, portion sizes, packaging specifications, freezing methods, and acceptable brand codes. The document specifies delivery requirements and allows buyers to select from multiple acceptable brands and suppliers, providing flexibility in sourcing while maintaining quality standards.

Pricing is to be submitted on a per-unit basis (primarily per pound) with total costs calculated by the buyer based on quantities specified at the facility level. The specifications reference USDA Institutional Meat Purchase (IMP) standards and series, ensuring products meet federal quality and safety requirements. Special notation requirements include mandatory date-of-production labeling on chilled products, with facilities empowered to monitor product acceptability. The procurement allows for multiple acceptable suppliers across most product categories, with brand codes and vendor identification provided for reference. Products must comply with FSIS regulations, and certain items specify restrictions on ingredients such as binders, extenders, and Advanced Meat Recovery system meat. The document indicates an opening date of October 19, 2019 (referenced as "10/19" throughout), establishing the timeline for proposal submission.
