About this file

This is an evaluation scorecard developed by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) Office for Nutrition to assess proposals for a warehouse distribution contract for MA procured food products, including USDA Processed Foods, to be distributed to schools, child and adult care centers, and other recipient agencies across Massachusetts regions. The solicitation (27NUTRL4, Document #BD-27-1026-DOE02-DOE01-130526) requires bidders to demonstrate sufficient warehousing space and vehicles to protect frozen, refrigerated, and dry products in compliance with Massachusetts Department of Public Health Regulations 105 CMR 500.00 and 21 CFR Part 110.00, along with exceptional customer service and warehouse and transportation staff capabilities to meet specified delivery frequencies. All bidders must pass seven required qualification criteria, including proof of current Massachusetts operating license, adequate insurance coverage, continuity of operations plan, food defense plan, food recall procedures, and submission of sample reporting and delivery paperwork.

The evaluation scorecard allocates 100 total points across five additional evaluation criteria with specific multipliers: contractor financial resources to purchase and sustain operations (25 points, 5x multiplier), reasonableness of fees (20 points, 4x multiplier), manageability of contract terms including location, delivery schedule, paperwork clarity, and additional services such as inventory monitoring and technical support (20 points, 4x multiplier), computer capabilities for inventory monitoring and electronic reporting including stock status, product utilization, expiration dates, and daily and monthly activity reports (20 points, 4x multiplier), and contractor's previous relevant experience and good standing with the Department (15 points, 3x multiplier). Bidders must receive "yes" on all required qualifications to proceed to scoring on the additional criteria, which employ a rubric ranging from non-responsive (0 points) to outstanding (5 points per multiplier).
