This is a pricing worksheet for an Invitation For Bid (IFB) issued by the California Department of General Services, Procurement Division, for the establishment of a statewide contract to supply cooking fats and oils. The solicitation seeks qualified firms to provide margarine, shortening, and salad oil products to all State of California departments on a statewide basis. The contract is structured in two groups: Group 1 covers margarine and buttery spreads with estimated annual quantities of 246,011 pounds of margarine spread (90 portions per pound), 49,390 pounds of prints (1 pound units), and 91,750 pounds of bulk cube margarine (50-pound cubes); Group 2 covers shortening and salad oil with estimated annual quantities of 1,642 cases of salad oil (35 pounds per case), 909 cases of salad oil (4 one-gallon containers per case), 190,550 pounds of all-purpose shortening, and 23,800 pounds of liquid high-temperature shortening. The contract term is two years with two optional one-year extensions available.

The pricing worksheet requires bidders to complete pricing information in designated yellow cells, including manufacturer brand, product code, list prices, contract discounts, unit prices, and case prices. All line items are assigned UNSPSC Code 50151500 and pricing is calculated on a per-pound or per-case basis depending on the product category. The worksheet contains automatic calculation formulas for extension totals (contract unit price multiplied by estimated quantity) and case prices (contract unit price per pound multiplied by pounds per case). Bidders must reference the IFB pricing language for completion instructions. The unit of measure is indicated as either LB (pound) or CS (case) depending on the product category and packaging configuration.
