Description

The New York City Department of Correction intends to procure a vertical hydroponic farm for persons in custody as part of workforce-development and re-entry programming. The farm will support two training tracks: participants tending the garden and hydroponic farm, and culinary-arts participants using the grown food for staff and persons in custody. The agency identifies FarmBox Foods LLC as the sole manufacturer and exclusive source of its proprietary products, which are designed, engineered, fabricated, and sold directly by FarmBox Foods. The sole-source procurement may not exceed $228,000. The anticipated term is 365 consecutive calendar days from contract registration, with a one-year renewal option. Vendors other than FarmBox Foods LLC may submit an expression of interest describing an alternative product, including examples, pricing, photographs, and supporting documentation.
