Solicitation 6100066905 is a procurement request issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services for the supply and delivery of various poultry items to Danville State Hospital for the period of January, February, and March 2027. The scope of work covers a wide range of chicken and turkey products, including USDA Grade A frying chicken, boneless breast halves, turkey ham, poultry frankfurters, and diced or pulled poultry meat. All products must adhere to strict quality and safety standards, including compliance with state and federal food safety and sanitary requirements, with a prohibition on contractors who have incurred major violations within the most recent calendar year. Key technical requirements include specific packaging and labeling standards, such as the use of moisture-proof cartons or poly-bags and the requirement that chilled roasts be stamped with a production or use-by date. Certain items, like diced poultry, must be fully cooked and individually quick frozen (IQF) with a specific piece size of 1/2 to 3/4 inch. The agency reserves the right to adjust delivery quantities with a 15-day notice, and any non-compliance with specifications is grounds for rejection. Bids must be submitted electronically via the PA Supplier Portal by November 20, 2026, and vendors are encouraged to register through the portal to facilitate ACH payments.
