About this file
This is a commodity specifications document issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Human Services for Warren State Hospital's dairy and eggs quarterly bid covering April through June 2026. The bid solicitation encompasses fourteen line items across multiple product categories including American cheese, cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, fruited yogurt, eggs in various formats (sandwich omelets, diced, liquid whole mixed, and folded omelets), liquid egg product substitute, cream cheese, margarine, cottage cheese, and vegetable oil spread. Quantities vary by item, ranging from 15 cases for certain egg products to 624 dozen cases for fruited yogurt. Deliveries are scheduled across thirteen separate dates between April 6, 2026, and June 29, 2026, with most items requiring weekly or bi-weekly shipments. The specifications document details precise federal and state standards each product must meet, including references to FDA regulations, moisture and fat content requirements, packaging specifications, shelf life requirements, and approved brand codes for most items.
All products must meet stringent quality and safety standards, including USDA inspection seals for egg products and certification requirements for frozen items to be delivered in solid frozen condition. Pricing is to be provided by vendors on a per-unit basis (pounds, cases, or dozens) with total cost calculations required. Acceptable brands are pre-approved for most items, with specific product codes provided for eggs and egg substitutes from suppliers such as Sunny Fresh, Echo Lake, Papetti, and Cutler. Products must maintain specified shelf lives from delivery, ranging from 21 days for yogurt and cottage cheese to 90 days for margarine and vegetable oil spread, and one year for frozen egg products. The facility specified packaging preferences for certain items, such as sliced versus unsliced cheese formats and container sizes for dairy products.
