Description:
To contract with one or more suppliers to supply bituminous coal to SCI Rockview of the PA Dept. of Corrections and Polk Center of the PA Dept. of Human Services, for FY 2021-22. Both locations were served under contract #4600016366, Line Item 10 and 20, respectively. Line Item 20 (for Polk Center) was terminated March 22, 2021 for non-timely deliveries and non-conformance to coal quality specifications by the supplier.
On March 19, 2020, the Governor’s Office issued a General Purchasing Ban to limit spending of goods or services that are not critical to operations. The issuing agency has determined through its internal approval processes that this solicitation is absolutely critical to operations and does not violate the Governor’s General Purchasing Ban. Additionally, the issuing agency conducted due diligence via positive vendor affirmation that there is sufficient competition due to the prevalence of telework allowing a preponderance of suppliers to have access to respond to the solicitation. The Commonwealth’s electronic bidding systems can be accessed via teleworking by the Commonwealth and suppliers due to the phased reopening of counties across the Commonwealth.
