EMERGENCY EXTENSION - DHS Ludeman Cold Storage Services FY26

The Department of Human Services (DHS) is seeking a vendor to provide cold storage services for the Elisabeth Ludeman Center, located at 114 N. Orchard Drive, Park Forest, IL 60466. The services include receiving, handling, and storing frozen and refrigerated food products, as well as withdrawing and delivering food items to the center's kitchen. The estimated quantity of the services is for the period of November 30, 2025, to May 29, 2026. • The vendor must be able to receive and store frozen and refrigerated food products at the correct temperatures. • The vendor must be able to withdraw and deliver food items to the center's kitchen on a weekly basis. • The vendor must be able to provide transportation and delivery services for the food products. • The vendor must be able to provide bill of lading services for outbound shipments. The DHS is seeking a vendor that can provide these services on an emergency basis, as the center does not have the ability to store its own frozen and refrigerated food products. The contract will be for a period of 6 months, with the option to extend if necessary.
