Beef/Soy Products

The state and local contract opportunity involves the procurement of beef and soy products for SCI Retreat, located at 660 State Route 11 in Hunlock Creek, Pennsylvania. The solicitation is specific to the jurisdictions of Lackawanna County, Dale Borough, and Harveys Lake Borough, with a contract period covering October, November, and December of 2016. The procurement is focused on food product delivery, with the primary deliverable being beef and soy-based items to be supplied to a state correctional institution. The contract opportunity was posted on September 16, 2016, with a relatively tight response window, requiring submissions by September 21, 2016. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, potential vendors would likely need to demonstrate capability of consistent product delivery, meet nutritional standards for institutional food service, and comply with state procurement guidelines. The short timeframe between posting and due date suggests an expedited procurement process.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation are mentioned in the documentation. The contract does not indicate preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises or specific vendor classifications. Without additional context, it is not possible to determine incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure requirements. The documentation does not provide explicit budget ranges or potential award values for the beef and soy product procurement. Given that the contract is for a state correctional institution and spans three months, the procurement likely represents a moderate-value contract focused on meeting institutional food service requirements. Vendors interested in responding would need to be prepared to deliver specified beef and soy products to the SCI Retreat facility, demonstrate product quality and consistency, and meet the expedited submission timeline of September 21, 2016.
