Pricing varied significantly by product and vendor, ranging from $0.016 per unit for kosher beverages to $34.67 per case for spinach. Major awardees included Shaver Foods, Mina Holdings, ELWOOD INTERNATIONAL, LA Foods, Feesers Inc., ThriveMed LLC, National Food Group, and several specialized suppliers. The memorandum notes that some quoters were deemed non-responsive due to denying awards or failing to meet technical specifications for products.
