This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by EASTCONN, a regional educational service center in Connecticut, soliciting cooperative produce bids for the 2024-2025 fiscal year. The solicitation (No. 21954) seeks vendors to provide produce for EASTCONN and its member districts from August 1, 2024, through July 31, 2025. The bidding period runs from April 3, 2024, at 12:00:00 PM EDT to May 3, 2024, at 8:00:00 AM EDT, with all vendors eligible to respond. The procurement includes a comprehensive product list detailed in accompanying spreadsheets, covering delivery locations and specific produce items.

The RFP provides minimal financial details, with no specified estimated total value or line items designated. Delivery and payment terms are referenced to be found in the bid specifications, and the contact person for inquiries is Heidi Radcliffe from EASTCONN, located in Hampton, Connecticut. The solicitation appears to be a cooperative purchasing agreement allowing EASTCONN and potentially other member districts to procure produce through a competitively bid contract. Vendors are expected to review three key documents: the main RFP, a product list spreadsheet, and a delivery locations spreadsheet to fully understand the procurement requirements.
