5012-Fish-Jan to Mar-DSH-FY26

Solicitation 6100066934 is a procurement for the supply and delivery of fish items to Danville State Hospital for January, February, and March 2027. Managed by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, the contract covers various products including raw fish loins, fish-in-batter, and seafood patties. All items must be delivered in a frozen state using clean freezer trucks, maintaining an internal temperature of 10 degrees Fahrenheit or lower upon delivery. The contract strictly prohibits the use of brine wash, sodium tripolyphosphate, and twice-frozen fish blocks. Award eligibility is contingent upon the use of brands previously approved by the DPW Dietary Advisory Committee and the absence of unpaid laboratory fees. Packaging requirements are stringent, requiring moisture-proof polybags or fiberboard containers that are packed to full capacity; the use of staples for final case closure is explicitly prohibited. All shipping containers must be legibly labeled with product identification, date of pack, and packer information. Bids must be submitted electronically via the PA Supplier Portal by November 24, 2026, and the Commonwealth will only pay for the actual net weight or count determined at the time of delivery.
