Description
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Human Services, is seeking bids for the provision of miscellaneous frozen food items, including baked goods, entrees, and desserts, to be delivered to Danville State Hospital for the months of October, November, and December 2026. The contract will be for a period of three months, and the successful bidder will be required to deliver the specified items on the designated dates and times. The bid must include the price per unit for each item, and the bidder must circle the product/brand being bid for each item.
Some key points to consider:
• The food items must be processed or manufactured in plants operated under the Meat and Poultry Inspection program of the Food Safety and Inspection Services of the U.S. Department of Agriculture or under an inspection program approved by that agency.
• The official inspection legend and plant number must appear on all shipping containers and/or individually packaged items.
• The products must be labeled with the product and brand name, date of pack, name and location of the packer or distributor, net weight, and ingredient statement.
• The products must be delivered in a solidly frozen condition, and the vendor assumes responsibility for the products supplied under the contract.
• The vendor must permit the facility to submit samples for laboratory analysis, and if laboratory analysis verifies that the ingredients do not meet the appropriate regulations, the cost of laboratory analysis will be charged to the vendor.
