The contract term is one year from the issuance of a fully executed Purchase Order, with potential renewal for up to four additional one-year periods subject to mutual written agreement between the PGC and the selected vendor, with written notice required at least 90 days prior to contract expiration. Contractors will be compensated at their bid price for successful carcass removals and at 25 percent of the bid price for service calls where the carcass is no longer present upon arrival. Bidders must submit electronic bids through the Commonwealth's SRM system prior to the May 27, 2026 due date, and the Commonwealth reserves the right to make a single award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or to award by line item. Required qualifications include registration in Pennsylvania's Vendor Master file, maintenance of Worker's Compensation Insurance, and Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance with minimum coverage of $250,000 per person and $1,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage.

No specific award value or budget range is provided in the available documentation. All standard Commonwealth terms and conditions apply, including compliance with applicable federal and state laws, nondiscrimination provisions, and contractor integrity and responsibility requirements.
