This document is a Request for Proposal (RFP) #28879 issued by EASTCONN, a cooperative purchasing organization in Connecticut, soliciting bids for an ice cream procurement for the period of August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2026. The solicitation was released on March 18, 2025, with bid submissions due by April 18, 2025, and is open to all vendors. The procurement seeks to establish a cooperative purchasing agreement for ice cream products, with supporting documentation including an Ice Cream RFP document, a Delivery Location List, and an Ice Cream Product List.

The solicitation does not specify a precise estimated total value or include line-item specifications, suggesting a flexible, potentially multi-vendor contract approach. The primary contact for the bid is Heidi Radcliffe, who can be reached at 860-455-1628 or hradcliffe@eastconn.org. The procurement appears designed to provide EASTCONN and potentially other participating entities with a comprehensive ice cream supply contract, with no explicit set-aside designations or vendor restrictions. The one-year contract term indicates a standard annual procurement cycle, with the possibility of future renewals or re-solicitation based on organizational needs and vendor performance.
