Frozen eggs

The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections is seeking a procurement of frozen eggs through an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for SCI Forest for the fourth quarter of 2010. The contract requires the purchase of 1,200 cases of frozen egg whites and 1,000 cases of frozen whole eggs, to be delivered in multiple installments between October and December 2010. Specific product requirements mandate that all eggs must comply with USDA regulations and be processed in FSIS-inspected facilities using domestically produced shell eggs. The frozen products must have a 12-month shelf life when frozen and a 3-5 day thawed shelf life when maintained at 40F or below. Bids are due by September 8, 2010, at 10:00 AM, with pricing to be quoted on a per-unit basis and delivery terms set as FOB destination. The procurement covers Forest County and Manor Borough jurisdictions, specifically targeting the state correctional institution's food service needs.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly noted in the provided documentation. The bid does not indicate any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it outline specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technology. Additionally, the documentation does not provide explicit details about award values or precise budget ranges for the frozen egg procurement. The contract appears to be a standard food service supply agreement for a state correctional facility, focusing on meeting nutritional requirements through bulk frozen egg product procurement. The Right to Know Law attachment indicates standard contractual provisions regarding information disclosure and potential compliance requirements, suggesting a typical state government procurement process with standard transparency and documentation expectations.
