The contract, identified by the unique ID 66d5cf45323913d9c80a9f30, was posted on August 12, 2016, with a proposal submission deadline of August 29, 2016. The procurement appears to be focused on securing produce supplies for the State Correctional Institution (SCI) Forest, with specific requirements for quantity, quality, and delivery schedules during the fourth quarter of 2016. While detailed specifications are not explicitly provided in the available information, the contract seems to be a standard agricultural supply agreement for institutional food service.

Vendors would likely need to demonstrate capability to consistently supply high-quality produce within the specified timeframe and meet institutional food service standards.

No specific set-aside designations or vendor restrictions are explicitly outlined in the provided contract opportunity details. The procurement does not indicate preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises or small business participation. Without additional context, it is not possible to determine precise award values or budget ranges for this produce contract. The lack of comprehensive details suggests potential vendors would need to contact the procuring agency directly for more specific information about qualification requirements, evaluation criteria, and expected contract value. The contract's short timeline between posting and submission deadline (approximately two weeks) implies an urgent or routine procurement process. Interested vendors would need to quickly assess their capability to meet the produce supply requirements for SCI Forest during the October-December 2016 period.
