Montana State Prison June Meat Bid.

The Montana State Prison has issued an Invitation for Bid (COR-IFB-2022-0392) for a meat procurement contract covering June 2022, specifically seeking frozen meat products to be delivered by June 1, 2022. The procurement involves four primary product line items: 10,000 lbs of 6 oz frozen chicken breast, 5,000 lbs of diced chicken, 2,000 lbs of frozen salami, and 4,000 lbs of frozen cooked pork sausage links. The bid requires detailed product specifications, including individually flash-frozen chicken breasts with plastic dividers, precooked diced chicken with specific dimensions, and frozen salami with precise meat and ingredient compositions. Bid contact persons are Tammy Finley and Gracie McGruder, with the solicitation released on May 5, 2022, and a closing date of May 12, 2022. The commodity code for the bid is 2003 (Foods - Meats), and the currency is US Dollars, with provisions allowing alternate brands that meet the specified requirements.

While the documentation does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations, the bid appears to be open to standard commercial meat suppliers who can meet the detailed product specifications. The procurement is specifically for Lincoln County and the Montana State Prison, with no indication of incumbent vendors or mandatory technology integrations. The bid does not provide a comprehensive budget range, but the total volume of meat products suggests a substantial contract value, potentially in the tens of thousands of dollars. The specifications are extremely precise, requiring vendors to demonstrate ability to provide high-quality, consistently prepared frozen meat products that meet exact preparation, additives, and preservation standards. Potential bidders must carefully review the complete specifications to ensure their products fully comply with the Montana State Prison's requirements.
