The state of Pennsylvania has issued a local contract opportunity for perishable food items to be delivered to the Southeastern Veterans Center located in Spring City, PA. The procurement is specifically an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for food-related goods targeting a specific timeframe from September 25 to October 10, 2017. The contract opportunity was originally posted on August 24, 2017, with a bid submission deadline of September 11, 2017. The jurisdictions associated with this procurement include multiple Pennsylvania counties: Allegheny, Chester, Dauphin, and Philadelphia Counties, as well as smaller municipal areas like Avondale Borough, Philadelphia City, and Strong CDP. The primary objective of this procurement appears to be securing a reliable food supply for the Southeastern Veterans Center, with potential vendors required to provide high-quality, fresh perishable food items that meet institutional nutritional standards and delivery specifications.

While specific details about set-aside designations or vendor restrictions are not explicitly provided in the contract opportunity documentation, the procurement seems targeted at food service providers capable of meeting institutional supply requirements for a veterans' center. The contract appears to be a short-term procurement with a defined delivery window, suggesting potential for smaller to mid-sized food distribution vendors. No specific incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements are noted in the available information. Similarly, no precise budget range or award value is specified in the documentation. Interested vendors would need to carefully review the full IFB documentation to understand complete qualification requirements, delivery expectations, and potential contract value for this specific perishable food procurement opportunity.
