Bottled and Canned Beverages

The Bottled and Canned Beverages multi-award vehicle, administered by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, provides a comprehensive procurement solution for a wide range of non-alcoholic beverages. The vehicle covers various beverage categories including soft drinks, energy drinks, sports drinks, powdered drink mixes, infusions, and water products. Specifically designed for retail operations such as campus union stations and convenience stores, this contract enables purchasing entities to acquire bottled and canned beverages through multiple prime contractors, with vendor-supplied equipment and flexible ordering options.

The multi-award vehicle includes four prime contractors: Coca-Cola Bottling (Reyes), Red Bull North America, American Bottling Company (Keurig Dr Pepper), and General Beverage & Beer Sales Co. The contract is effective from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, with the potential for four automatic one-year renewals, extending the potential contract period to June 30, 2029. Geographically focused on Wisconsin, specifically serving UW-Milwaukee locations and potentially other state entities, the contract type is non-exclusive and piggybackable. Each contractor offers competitive pricing with annual price increases capped at 3%, minimum order requirements, and comprehensive delivery and equipment maintenance services.
