About this file
This is a commodity specifications document issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Public Welfare, for a poultry products procurement at Warren State Hospital covering the fourth quarter of 2026 (October through December). The solicitation requests multiple poultry product categories including fresh frozen chicken parts (frying chicken breasts and legs), turkey roasts, turkey burgers, processed turkey products (smoked breast, bologna, and salami), diced and pulled poultry meat, and fully cooked breaded chicken products. Quantities vary by item, ranging from 5 cases to 450 pounds, with delivery dates scheduled for October 5, November 2, and December 7, 2026. Specific portion sizes, packaging requirements, and preparation standards are detailed for each commodity, with products required to meet USDA Grade A specifications or equivalent. The agency reserves the right to adjust delivery quantities with 15 days' notice, and non-compliance with delivery specifications will result in rejection.
The specifications include extensive acceptable brand listings with corresponding product codes for each item, enabling bidders to understand approved suppliers and options. Pricing is solicited on a per-unit basis (cases, pounds, or individual items as specified), though unit prices are not provided in the specifications document. Special notes accompany certain items regarding production dating requirements, shelf life documentation, and refrigeration state options. Products must be individually frozen to prevent sticking, packaged in moisture-proof containers with specified weight limits per master container, and comply with formulation requirements regarding meat composition, fat content, additives, and extenders. The procurement emphasizes whole muscle products rather than comminuted or reformed meat, with particular emphasis on low-sodium and additive-free options for certain items such as diced poultry meat.
