Food and dairy products for july, august, and september 2025 3RD QTR

Clinton County, New York is soliciting sealed bids for food and dairy products to be delivered to the County Jail and County Nursing Home during the third quarter of 2025 (July, August, and September). The procurement encompasses approximately 50 different food and dairy product categories, including meats, poultry, canned goods, cereals, beverages, dairy products, and prepared foods. The bid master sheets specify detailed product requirements, preferred brands with "or Equal" options, and precise packaging specifications. Delivery schedules are currently set for the Nursing Home on Thursdays from 6-11 a.m. and the Jail on Tuesdays and Fridays from 5-7 a.m., with potential for mutual scheduling adjustments. The bid opening is scheduled for Tuesday, June 24, 2025, at 2:30 PM at the Clinton County Purchasing Agent's office, with pricing expected to remain firm throughout the quarter. Bidders must complete multiple compliance forms, including non-collusion certification, Iran Divestment Act compliance, and sexual harassment prevention statements. The county reserves the right to reject any or all bids, make awards by item or category, and adjust quantities as needed.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the bid documents emphasize non-discrimination requirements and compliance with various state and local laws. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly identified, the comprehensive nature of the bid suggests this is a recurring quarterly procurement for institutional food service. The estimated quantities range from 3 to 420 units across different product categories, indicating a significant volume of food products required for county facilities. The bid master sheets were updated in May 2021, suggesting an established procurement process with potential for long-term vendor relationships. Although specific budget ranges are not disclosed in the available documents, the extensive product list and quarterly delivery schedule imply a substantial procurement value. Bidders must demonstrate the ability to provide high-quality, consistent food products that meet the county's precise specifications, with an emphasis on flexibility and product equivalency.
