HVH & SWVC Bread Products

The state of Pennsylvania is seeking a vendor to supply and deliver bread and bread products for two specific veterans' facilities: the Hollidaysburg Veterans Home and Southwestern Veterans Center. This procurement opportunity, identified by the contract number 67f69e40af1de9adcf057c38, was posted on April 9, 2025, with proposals due by May 1, 2025. The contract specifically covers bread and related bakery products, likely requiring consistent, high-quality delivery to meet the nutritional needs of veterans in residential care settings. The procurement encompasses Lehigh County and specifically targets vendors capable of meeting institutional food service requirements for these veteran-focused facilities. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, vendors can reasonably expect to be assessed on product quality, delivery reliability, pricing, and ability to consistently meet institutional food service standards.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types were explicitly mentioned in the contract opportunity description. The procurement appears to be a standard institutional food supply contract without specific enterprise designation requirements. Given the nature of the contract involving veterans' facilities, there may be potential preferences for vendors with experience in large-scale food service delivery, particularly those familiar with meeting dietary requirements for institutional settings. The geographic scope includes Lehigh County and Allentown City, suggesting local or regional vendors might have a logistical advantage. While no specific budget range was provided, institutional food service contracts for multiple facilities typically represent substantial annual commitments, potentially ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on the number of residents and meal requirements at the Hollidaysburg and Southwestern Veterans Centers.
