This document is an Invitation for Bids (IFB) from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the purchase of various fresh produce items for delivery to a state correctional institution in June 2012. The IFB requests bids for 16 specific produce items including bananas, apples, oranges, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, celery, cucumbers, onions, peppers, tomatoes, and cauliflower. The requested quantities range from 8 to 1,600 units, with deliveries scheduled for four dates in June 2012. Bids are due by May 7, 2012 at 1:30 PM. The IFB provides detailed specifications for each produce item and indicates the Commonwealth is seeking top USDA grade or equivalent quality.
