February Produce 2017

The state and local contract opportunity identified by ID 66ccac0a968d0a8c8a0796c6 involves the procurement of fresh produce for SCI Retreat in Pennsylvania. Specifically, this contract is for produce delivery during February 2017, targeting the state correctional institution located in the jurisdictions of Lackawanna County and Dale Borough. The primary deliverable is fresh produce, with the procurement requiring a vendor capable of consistent, timely delivery to the facility. The contract was initially posted on January 10, 2017, with a strict proposal submission deadline of January 17, 2017 - a notably short window for response. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, vendors would likely be assessed on product quality, delivery reliability, pricing, and ability to meet the correctional facility's nutritional requirements. The procurement appears to be a routine monthly food supply contract for a state correctional institution.

The contract opportunity does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. No incumbent vendors are listed in the provided documentation, and there are no mentions of specific infrastructure or technology integration requirements. Without additional context, the potential award value cannot be definitively determined. The procurement is limited to the specific produce needs of SCI Retreat for the month of February 2017, suggesting a relatively contained scope and potentially modest contract value. The jurisdiction details indicate this is a localized procurement within Lackawanna County and Dale Borough, Pennsylvania, which might impact vendor eligibility or preference for local suppliers. Given the nature of institutional food procurement, potential vendors would likely need to demonstrate food safety compliance, consistent supply chain management, and the capacity to meet the correctional facility's specific dietary requirements.
