Pennsylvania’s Department of Human Services is seeking dairy products and beverages for Danville State Hospital, while an attachment also lists generator and lighting items under a separate state procurement record.
- **Buyer and destination:** Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Human Services, Bureau of Juvenile Justice Services; Dietary Department, Danville State Hospital, Montour County. A separate attachment names the Commonwealth’s DGS Bureau of Procurement, solicitation owner Angela Eshleman, and an Executive Branch ship-to location in Harrisburg.
- **Dairy and beverage requirements:** Butter, margarine, vegetable-oil spread, cottage cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, yogurt, fruit drink, lemonade, and iced tea. Quantities are unspecified for these items and may change with facility needs; bidders are to identify the brand and product offered.
- **Named approved brands/vendors:** **Promise, Gold-N-Soft, Shedd’s, Land-O-Lakes Light Spread, Sommers Maid, Smart Balance, Gold-N-Sweet, Kraft, Land-O-Lakes, Penn Maid, Schneider Valley Farms, and Lakeview Farms.** The available information associates these brands with selected spread, cream cheese, and sour cream items.
- **Specifications:** Products must meet applicable Pennsylvania dairy standards, USDA grading requirements where applicable, and food-labeling rules. Shelf-life minimums vary by item, generally 21–90 days beyond delivery; specified spreads and portions have additional packaging and shelf-life requirements.
- **Delivery and acceptance:** Chilled goods must arrive at 40°F or below; frozen items must remain solidly frozen without signs of thawing or mishandling. Clean refrigerated or freezer trucks and inspection of products are required.
- **Additional attachment items:** A separate bid record lists 15,000 generators (Product ID 26131803; description “GENERATOR CONTROL/PR”) and 15,000 lighting items (Product ID 39111800; description “LIGHTING ACCESSORIES”). These items appear to be from a distinct procurement record rather than the Danville dairy request.
