Natural and Organic Foods for Resale

The Natural and Organic Foods for Resale multi-award vehicle, administered by UW Milwaukee, provides a comprehensive procurement solution for natural and organic food products across multiple UNSPSC categories. The contract enables the purchase of staple grocery items including cereal and pulse products, shelf-stable bread, potato products, edible oils and fats, and other food and beverage items. Specifically designed for single consumer purchase with low order minimums, this vehicle supports the procurement of small package sizing natural and organic foods for resale purposes.

The contract is awarded to Lipari Foods, a Michigan-based contractor, with an initial term from July 8, 2021, through June 30, 2022, and includes four automatic one-year renewal options for a potential total contract period of five years. Pricing is structured on a cost-plus markup model, with markup percentages ranging from 6% for refrigerated items to 35% for cookies. The contract covers the state of Wisconsin and is limited to UW Milwaukee, with a minimum order requirement of $500, net 30 payment terms, and delivery within two business days to specified Milwaukee locations. While not piggybackable, the contract offers detailed provisions for product substitutions, returns, and contractor personnel requirements.
