Beef/Soy Products

The state and local contract opportunity, identified by the unique ID 66d5cad5323913d9c80a9802, involves the procurement of beef and soy products for SCI Retreat, spanning the months of January, February, and March 2017. This procurement is situated within Lackawanna County and specifically involves Dawson Borough in Pennsylvania. The contract seeks to supply food products to the state correctional institution, with a specific focus on beef and soy-based items. The opportunity was initially posted on December 2, 2016, with a proposal submission deadline of December 8, 2016, indicating a relatively short response window for potential vendors. The procurement appears to be a standard supply contract for institutional food services, requiring vendors to provide high-quality beef and soy products that meet specific nutritional and quality standards for correctional facility meal preparation.

While the contract notice does not explicitly detail set-aside designations or specific vendor restrictions, state and local government contracts often have provisions for minority-owned, women-owned, or disadvantaged business enterprises. The scope of the contract suggests a targeted procurement for a specific institutional facility, which may limit the pool of potential vendors to those with experience in large-scale food service supply. The contract covers a three-month period from January to March 2017, implying a potential contract value that would reflect the volume of food products required for a state correctional institution during that timeframe. Given the nature of institutional food procurement, vendors would likely need to demonstrate capabilities in large-volume food distribution, meet strict food safety standards, and provide competitive pricing for bulk beef and soy product deliveries. While specific budget ranges are not provided in the available information, institutional food service contracts typically represent significant financial opportunities for qualified vendors.
