Fresh Produce for WMCH - Delivery 5/13/25

The state of Maryland, specifically Washington County, is seeking a fresh produce delivery contract for the Western Maryland Hospital Center (WMHC) scheduled for Tuesday, May 13, 2025. The procurement opportunity, identified by the contract ID 681cced8be40c58e43043f18, involves the delivery of multiple produce items including red delicious apples (100 ct), bananas (petite - 3-4 color and green), cantaloupe (9-18 ct), red seedless grapes (18 lb), oranges (100 ct), baby carrots (1 lb), cucumbers (40 lb), romaine heart lettuce (3 ct), tomatoes (25 lb), and salad mix (5 lb). The bid is currently marked with a purchase order number MOOP 5604602 and a BPO number 051120, with pricing sections currently blank, indicating this is a solicitation stage for produce procurement. The bid document was posted on May 7, 2025, with a response deadline of May 12, 2025, providing potential vendors approximately five days to prepare and submit their proposals. The procurement appears to be a standard institutional food service contract targeting fresh produce suppliers capable of meeting specific quantity and quality requirements for a healthcare facility.

While the current documentation does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or vendor restrictions, the procurement appears to be a standard government contract opportunity potentially open to various food service and produce suppliers. No incumbent vendors are identified in the current documentation, and no specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure are mentioned. The bid sheet does not currently display pricing information, making it challenging to determine the precise award value or budget range for this contract. The procurement seems focused on securing a reliable produce supplier capable of meeting the specific delivery requirements for the Western Maryland Hospital Center, with an emphasis on fresh, high-quality produce in specified quantities and pack sizes. Potential vendors would likely need to demonstrate capability in large-scale produce procurement, consistent delivery reliability, and adherence to institutional food service standards.
