501 Froz Fruit & Veg Jul-Sept2021 Plk JO

The state and local contract opportunity, identified by ID 66cc79fa968d0a8c8a075b5b, is a procurement for frozen fruit and vegetable delivery to Polk Center in Washington County, Pennsylvania, covering the period of July through September 2021. The procurement is specifically focused on delivering a precise quantity and variety of frozen food items, as detailed in the attached Excel spreadsheet "Fruit and Veggie Delivery Schedule July-Sept 2021.xlsx". The delivery schedule outlines bi-weekly deliveries from July 6th through September 27th, with specific quantities ranging from 5 to 1,600 pounds of various frozen items including vegetables, fruits, beef, pork, poultry, and fish. The primary objective is to ensure consistent and timely delivery of frozen food products to the Polk Center facility. The proposal was posted on May 12, 2021, with a submission deadline of June 7, 2021, indicating a relatively short response window for potential vendors. Prospective vendors would need to demonstrate capability to meet the precise delivery schedule and maintain the required quality and quantity of frozen food items.

While the documentation does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or specific vendor restrictions, the contract appears to be a standard government procurement opportunity. The contract covers jurisdictions including Washington County and Pittsburgh City, suggesting potential local vendor preference might be considered. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the available documentation, and there are no explicit details about budget ranges or award values. The delivery schedule implies a structured procurement process with clear expectations for product types, quantities, and delivery timelines. Potential vendors would likely need to demonstrate logistical capabilities, food safety compliance, and the ability to consistently meet the bi-weekly delivery requirements across the specified three-month period. Given the specificity of the delivery schedule and the government context, vendors would need to have robust cold chain management and transportation infrastructure to successfully fulfill this contract.
