4. Exhibit D. September Meat and Cheese Price Proposal.xlsx

This is a meat and cheese price proposal form for a September request for quote issued by the State of Colorado (Solicitation #CAAA 2027000009). The document outlines fourteen line items for procurement across six Colorado locations: Arkansas Valley, Buena Vista, Canon City, Denver, Limon, and Sterling. Products requested include various frozen meat items (ground beef, beef patties, chicken patties, sausage, turkey franks, ground turkey, turkey ham, turkey roast, thigh meat, turkey bologna, and turkey roll) and cheese products (American cheese, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese). Total quantities range significantly by item, with ground beef totaling 24,400 pounds, beef patties at 41,220 pounds, chicken patties at 1,065 cases, sausage at 25,750 pounds, and various other proteins and cheeses distributed across the requested locations. The document indicates this is a vendor response form where suppliers are to complete unit costs and total costs for each line item.

The proposal form contains blank fields for vendor name, brand specifications, and item numbers, with all unit costs and total costs currently showing $0.00, indicating this is a blank template awaiting vendor pricing submissions. The specifications include detailed requirements such as NAMP adherence for beef products, specific fat ratios, sodium limits where applicable, packaging specifications, and quality standards including breed and processing requirements. Notably, several cheese products specify requirements for animal rennet-free formulations and appropriate applications (such as mozzarella suitable for plain cheese pizza). Turkey products must be approved for sale to the Department of Corrections (DOC), and several items require pack dating. The document does not specify pricing terms, payment schedules, delivery timelines, or contract duration within this excerpt.
