About this file
This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the State of Montana's Office of Public Instruction (OPI) regarding the distribution of USDA Foods to Schools, seeking information about trucking and transportation services. The RFI was released on December 12, 2019, with responses due by January 16, 2020, at 2:00 PM MST. The document seeks vendor insights into providing trucking services for school food distribution, with an Excel spreadsheet provided showing October 2019 delivery data indicating 9,188 cases totaling 287,000 pounds were delivered statewide.
The RFI includes specific questions for potential vendors, such as interest in providing services, past experience, routing approaches, potential project risks, and estimated price ranges. The state emphasizes that this is strictly an information-gathering exercise and does not constitute a commitment to purchase services. The RFI covers commodity codes related to transportation services, including highway maintenance, freight services, transportation equipment, and transportation-related contracted services. Vendors are asked to review the provided October 2019 delivery data and explain how they would approach routing USDA Foods through the OPI School Nutrition Program.
