5000 OMHSAS NSH - Diet Cart 2 - 3Q26

OMHSAS NSH is soliciting supplier quotes for Diet Cart 2 items for the third quarter (January 1 to March 31) with responses due November 20, 2026. The opportunity is posted under Pennsylvania, with Montgomery County and Northern Cambria Borough listed as jurisdictions. No set-aside or preference program is stated in the listing. Three attached files carry eligibility and compliance conditions that bidders must address.

The Reciprocal Limitations Act requirements document restricts which contractors may participate based on state of incorporation or principal place of business, and it sets out the procedures for verifying contractor status and documenting exceptions or waivers. The Workers Protection and Investment Certification (Form BOP-2201), issued under Executive Order 2021-06, must be executed by an authorized official of the contractor. It certifies compliance with Pennsylvania unemployment compensation, workers' compensation, and labor laws, including the Prevailing Wage Act, Minimum Wage Act, and Wage Payment and Collection Law. Contractors must report any change in compliance status to the Purchasing Agency immediately. False certifications carry contract termination and three-year ineligibility to bid on commonwealth contracts under 62 Pa. C.S. 531.

Executive Order 2010-03 directs state agencies purchasing agricultural products to prioritize Pennsylvania-produced products and to solicit quotes from qualifying Pennsylvania vendors at competitive prices. It defines five categories of Pennsylvania-produced products, including Pennsylvania Preferred trademark licensees and products grown in Pennsylvania for at least 75 percent of the production cycle. Agencies must report annual purchases to the Department of Agriculture, with reports effective January 1 each year. The order does not conflict with United States treaty obligations or reciprocal preference statutes of other jurisdictions.
