The contract covers three primary product categories: all-purpose shortening, liquid deep-fry shortening, and salad oil, all of which must be trans-fat free and vegetable-based. These products are designed to meet specific technical requirements, including analytical standards for free fatty acids, peroxide values, and stability indexes. The IDV ensures that purchased items comply with FDA guidelines, food safety regulations, and have a minimum nine-month post-delivery shelf life, with packaging options including 50-pound cubes, 3-5 gallon plastic containers, and one-gallon resealable bottles.

The contract is awarded to San Joaquin Distributors Inc., a certified Small Business, and is administered by the California Department of General Services (DGS) Procurement Division. The IDV has a two-year performance period from January 5, 2026, through December 31, 2027, with an option to extend for two additional one-year periods. It is mandatory for all California state departments, with a minimum delivery quantity of 200 pounds per order. The contract includes specific provisions for customer service, product substitutions, and emergency orders, with net 45-day payment terms. While the contract does not specify a total dollar value, the pricing attachment reveals unit prices ranging from $29.85 to $49.52 per case, depending on the specific product and packaging.
