About this file

This is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued by the California Department of State Hospitals (DSH), Solicitation Number 25AG0001, seeking bids for canned tomato products for the Atascadero State Hospital location. The solicitation covers four specific tomato product types: diced tomatoes (336 cases), tomato puree (224 cases), whole tomatoes (56 cases), and tomato sauce (112 cases). The contract period will run from July 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, with potential quantity variations of up to 15% per line item. Deliveries will be made monthly, with a delivery schedule to be provided to the awarded vendor. Bidders must provide nutritional facts/ingredients for each item, ensure no added spices beyond salt, use industry-standard #10 cans (6 cans per case), and guarantee product freshness for at least six months past the delivery date.

Key bidding requirements include strict specifications for sodium content, packaging, and product characteristics, with explicit prohibitions against "Our House" brand tomatoes. The solicitation emphasizes competitive bidding based on lowest cost, with potential DVBE (Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise) participation incentives ranging from 3% to 5%. A unique feature of this RFQ is the GenAI Disclosure requirement, where bidders must notify the state if they intend to use Generative Artificial Intelligence in contract performance. The bid evaluation will consider recycled content, with DSH reserving the right to award to a vendor meeting recycled products content requirements, even if not the absolute lowest bid (within 10% of the lowest total cost). Bidders must complete several mandatory forms, including Darfur Contracting Act Certification, Payee Data Record, and Postconsumer-Content Certification.
