The kinds of work being solicited range from bulk purchases of canned applesauce and fresh produce for correctional facilities and supported living centers to weekly food orders for state veterans homes, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. Vendors respond to RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, and IFBs with typical contract terms of one to two years, firm fixed pricing per unit, FOB destination delivery, and compliance with USDA commodity specifications, Buy American provisions where applicable, and food safety standards.
