CBS Pizza July Aug Sept 2014

The State Correctional Institution at Cambridge Springs is soliciting bids for frozen pizza entrees through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued on April 17, 2014. The procurement specifically seeks 150 cases of 96-count natural cheese pizza slices, to be delivered on July 1, August 1, and September 1, 2014. The bid requires precise product specifications, including specific size requirements, cheese content, sodium limits, and packaging standards. The bid submission deadline is April 30, 2014, at 11:00 AM, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Vendors must submit electronic bids with comprehensive nutritional information, and all products must match the brand specified in the bid documentation. The facility reserves the right to increase, reduce, or cancel orders within a reasonable timeframe before delivery, and all packaging must be clearly marked with appropriate product details.

The contract opportunity includes requirements under the Reciprocal Limitations Act, which provides preference to Pennsylvania-made goods and resident Pennsylvania bidders. Bids over $10,000 must include a completed Reciprocal Limitations Act Compliance Form, and purchase orders of $5,000 or greater are subject to the Right to Know Law. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly noted, bidders must provide detailed information about their state of manufacture and residency status. The bid results will be posted online rather than directly distributed, and vendors will be responsible for product replacements within 14 days of delivery, with products having packing dates older than six months subject to rejection unless otherwise agreed upon. Although no specific budget range is provided, the procurement is for a state correctional facility and involves a specific quantity of pizza products for a three-month period.
