Destination basis to Rogers Farm (2442 Highway 147, Reidsville, GA 30453), Joe Kennedy Farm (1581 Highway 152, Lyons, GA 30436), and Montgomery Farm (650 Mount Vernon-Auston Road, Mt.

The original solicitation was posted on December 19, 2025, with an initial bid close date of January 12, 2026; however, this deadline was extended via Addendum 1 issued on January 5, 2026, by Issuing Officer Kesi Bates, GCPM, GCPCA. Suppliers were evaluated based on pricing, with the contract awarded to the lowest qualified bidder. The evaluation process resulted in the identification of apparent successful and unsuccessful offerors, with award decisions posted in the Notice of Intent to Award on January 15, 2026, followed by the final Notice of Award on January 23, 2026. Interested parties had the opportunity to protest award decisions by submitting electronic documentation to ross.barrineau@gdc.ga.gov.

This is an open contract procurement with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions noted for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses in the available documentation.

Deronceler Solutions Group was identified as an unsuccessful offeror and was not selected based on submitting a non-low bid. As an open contract, the awarded amounts represent estimates only and are subject to actual usage requirements by the state.
