The Pennsylvania state contract opportunity, identified by ID 66cc9ff3968d0a8c8a0788b0, is a procurement solicitation for perishable food items to be delivered to the Southeastern Veterans Center located in Spring City, PA. The invitation for bid specifically covers food procurement for a targeted period from November 13 through December 22, 2017. The contracting jurisdiction encompasses Chester County, with a specific focus on the Tharptown (Uniontown) Census Designated Place.

The bid was originally posted on October 16, 2017, with a response deadline of November 1, 2017. Potential bidders must demonstrate the ability to consistently deliver high-quality perishable food items within the specified timeframe and meet the operational requirements of the Southeastern Veterans Center.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, veterans-related procurements often have preferences for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses or businesses with strong veteran employment practices. The contract appears to be a standard procurement without complex technological integration requirements. The geographical limitation to Chester County suggests a localized supply chain approach. The potential award value is not specified, but food service contracts for veteran facilities typically range from moderate to significant financial commitments depending on the facility's size and dietary needs. Interested vendors would need to carefully review the full bid documentation to understand precise qualification criteria, delivery specifications, and any potential preference categories for bidding.
