About this file

This is a commodity specifications document for fish and fish products prepared by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Human Services for Warren State Hospital's quarterly meat, fish, and poultry procurement for April through June 2026. The document outlines nine distinct fish product categories with detailed specifications for each item: fish loins (raw, untreated, and unbreaded), fish portions (unbreaded raw), fish portions (breaded pre-cooked), fish sticks (breaded pre-cooked), fish-in-batter (pre-cooked oven-ready), seafood patties (breaded), fish nuggets (breaded pre-cooked), chowder pieces (cod), and fish loins (raw natural whole loins). All products must meet USDC Grade A standards and Federal Inspection requirements where applicable. Specifications include precise portion sizes ranging from 0.75 ounces for fish nuggets to 4 ounces for most loin and portion products, detailed packaging requirements including layer packing with moisture-proof paper and carton specifications, and fish species requirements such as cod, haddock, or pollock. Most items specify a delivery date of February 16, with one item (fish nuggets) due February 26.

The document provides an extensive list of acceptable brands and product codes for each commodity type, establishing pre-approved suppliers including Icelandic, Samband of Iceland, FPI, Viking, Midship/Good Harbor, Frionor, Trident, Seastar, and National Fish & Seafood. All products must be individually quick frozen (IQF), skinless and boneless, cut from frozen fish flesh rather than ground or minced, and comply with specific composition percentages for fish flesh content, ranging from 48 percent for fish-in-batter products to 65 percent for breaded fish portions. Products designated with "CN Labeled" indicate Canadian National labeling. The specifications establish uniform requirements for layer packing with moisture-proof paper between layers and standardized master container configurations of either 6 or 10 cartons per unit. Unit pricing and total cost columns are included in the specification table for bidder completion.
