SCI forest cheese bid

The state and local contract opportunity, identified by ID 66d5e493323913d9c80ac1b1, is a solicitation for monthly cheese deliveries to SCI Forest during the months of April, May, and June. This procurement is being conducted by the Pennsylvania state government, specifically involving Forest County and Masontown Borough. The bid, posted on February 13, 2015, has a submission deadline of March 3, 2015, indicating a relatively short procurement cycle. The primary objective appears to be the consistent supply of cheese to the State Correctional Institution (SCI) Forest, suggesting a recurring institutional food service contract. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, typical procurement processes for institutional food service contracts often consider factors such as product quality, pricing, delivery reliability, and vendor capacity to meet ongoing nutritional requirements.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation are mentioned in the available documentation. The contract does not appear to have explicit provisions for disadvantaged business enterprises or small business preferences. Similarly, information about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure is not provided. Without detailed financial information, it is not possible to definitively state the potential award value or budget range for this cheese delivery contract. The procurement is limited to a three-month period covering April, May, and June, which suggests this might be a relatively modest contract in terms of total value. Potential bidders would need to demonstrate the ability to consistently deliver cheese to the correctional institution during the specified timeframe and meet any unstated institutional procurement requirements.
