5018-Bread-Jan to Mar-DSH-FY26

Danville State Hospital is soliciting bids under Bid #6100066937 for fresh bread and rolls to be delivered January through March 2027, with bids due December 1, 2026, submitted electronically through the PA Supplier Portal. The source imposes no set-aside or preference. Its eligibility condition is that all bakeries must be registered with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and meet state bakery standards.

The solicitation covers 18 commodity line items: enriched white, rye, whole wheat, cinnamon/raisin, and Italian breads; bread cubes for filling; hamburger, frankfurter, hard kaiser, dinner, steak, hoagie/sub, hot dog, and whole grain rolls; English muffins; and sausage rolls. Quantities are estimates that the facility may increase or decrease. Most products must arrive no more than 48 hours old, and whole wheat and rye must arrive no more than 72 hours old. Products must maintain freshness for at least five days from delivery and be packaged in commercial-standard polyfilm bags. Labels must show product type, ingredients, net weight, bakery name, and production date or color-coded tie code. The facility may cancel any quantity with at least five days' notice before a scheduled delivery, and payment covers only products accepted at actual net weight or count. Vendors must remove returnable containers by the next scheduled delivery, and any schedule change requires prior approval from the Director of Dietary Services.

Vendors that have not previously done business with the Commonwealth must complete the four-step PA Supplier Portal registration, including a signed W-9, before bidding. Questions and inquiries go to Annette Hockenbroch, Purchasing Agent, at (570) 271-4518 or anhockenbr@pa.gov.
