ICI - Kosher Meals for Passover

The State of Illinois, through the Illinois Department of Corrections (ICI), has issued a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) for the provision of Kosher Meals for Passover. The contract requires the delivery of five different meal types - Salisbury Steak, Sole Filet, Chicken, Meat Loaf, and Pot Roast - with total quantities ranging from 283 to 442 units per meal type. The meals must be shelf-stable with a 2-year shelf life and meet strict kosher dietary requirements. The BOA has a term from the date of the last signature through June 30, 2020, and pricing for the meals is requested, with samples potentially required at the vendor's expense. The contract will be awarded through the Illinois Correctional Industries (ICI) source selection method, and no subcontractors are disclosed. The appropriation account code, detailed expenditure object code, and award code are provided, along with standard State of Illinois terms and conditions and required vendor certifications.

The contract opportunity does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, and the available budget or potential award value is not disclosed. The contract appears to be focused on providing kosher-compliant, shelf-stable meal options for the state's correctional facilities, though the specific number of facilities or inmates to be served is not specified.
