The issuing bodies are state health and human services agencies, departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state purchasing divisions acting on behalf of multiple agencies. Work solicited includes food service supply contracts ranging from 20 to 400+ line items, with annual consumption quantities from single cases to thousands of cases, firm-fixed unit pricing, F.O.B. Destination delivery within 7 to 30 days of order, compliance with USDA/FDA standards and shelf-life requirements, and vendor qualifications including liability insurance, references, debarment certification, and E-Verify compliance.
