Organic and Specialty Produce Supply

The contract seeks the supply of organic, non-GMO, and specialty produce to meet the dietary needs of inmates with specific medical or religious restrictions, ensuring full compliance with USDA organic certification standards and EPA regulations. All produce must be sourced and delivered in accordance with strict quality and safety protocols to maintain the integrity of institutional food programs for vulnerable populations. The subcontract is issued under NAICS code 424480, indicating a focus on wholesale grocery and related product merchant services, and is managed by the Colorado department under the Department of Corrections Administration. Proposals are due by July 29, 2026, at 6:30 PM, with the solicitation posted on July 24, 2026. The place of performance and point of contact details are unspecified, suggesting that delivery logistics will be coordinated directly with the agency’s regional facilities, likely across multiple correctional institutions in Colorado. Contractors must be prepared to meet ongoing supply demands with consistent volume, timely delivery schedules, and documentation verifying organic and non-GMO status for each shipment. The contract is non-competitive and lacks set-aside provisions, meaning any qualified supplier may respond without designation for small business, veteran-owned, or other preferred categories.
