The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, acting through Montgomery County and Northern Cambria Borough, is procuring Food 2 supplies for the fourth quarter of 2025, with the contract period running from April through June 2026. This opportunity (5000 - OMHSAS NSH - Food 2 - 4Q25) was posted on February 19, 2026, with a proposal due date of March 12, 2026. The procurement requires suppliers to provide food products meeting the specifications designated as "Food 2" for the specified jurisdictions and timeframe.

Bidders should anticipate a March 12, 2026 deadline for submission of all proposals and supporting documentation.

Prospective vendors must comply with Pennsylvania's Reciprocal Limitations Act requirements and Executive Order 2010-03, which mandates that Commonwealth agencies prioritize Pennsylvania-produced agricultural products when available at competitive prices. Suppliers are strongly encouraged to source from Pennsylvania Preferred program producers and must be prepared to document the origin and production methodology of food products to demonstrate compliance with Pennsylvania agricultural procurement preferences. The procurement does not appear to include designated set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses based on the available documentation, though all vendors competing for this opportunity must meet equivalent qualification standards regardless of their state of origin or business location. No incumbent vendor information, award values, or budget ranges have been specified in the posted materials. Interested suppliers should contact the procuring agencies for additional specifications, pricing guidelines, and detailed scope-of-work documentation prior to the March 12, 2026 submission deadline.
