About this file
This is a Response Worksheet attachment related to a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the California Department of General Services, Procurement Division (DGS-PD) regarding mozzarella string cheese availability. The RFI seeks information from interested suppliers about product availability on a statewide basis to inform an upcoming solicitation for cheese products. Responses to this RFI should be directed to timothy.lemus@dgs.ca.gov. The worksheet provides a structured format for suppliers to submit their responses regarding the availability and capability to supply mozzarella string cheese to the State of California.
The document serves as a template for suppliers to document their product specifications, availability, pricing capability, and capacity to meet state requirements for mozzarella string cheese. This RFI is a preliminary information-gathering tool designed to assess the market and potential vendor capabilities prior to the issuance of a formal competitive solicitation. No specific pricing, award dates, contract terms, or set-aside information is detailed within this response worksheet, as the RFI phase precedes formal bid solicitation.

Department of General Services Cheese- Mozzarella String Cheese Procurement Division Attachment 1-Response Worksheet
Response Worksheet Cheese- Mozzarella String Cheese
Company Name:
Company Contact (Name, phone number and email address):
1. Can your company supply an estimated annual volume of approximately 4 million individually wrapped 1‑ounce mozzarella string cheese units (approximately 250,000 pounds) for distribution to California state correctional facilities?
2. In reference to the State’s PCRC Certification Workbook, does individually wrapped 1-ounce mozzarella string cheese fall under any of the SABRC Product Category’s? If so, what is the estimated Post-consumer Recycled Content percentage?
3. The pricing structure for each contract line item on the current cheese contract (Contract #1‑23‑89‑07) uses a fixed price differential that’s added to the USDA‑published base price. This structure results in monthly price adjustments that reflect ongoing fluctuations in cheese commodity markets.
Please confirm whether the individually wrapped 1‑ounce mozzarella string cheese item is subject to the same pricing methodology. Specifically, does this product normally fluctuate in accordance with USDA market movements, or is it designated as a firm‑fixed‑price item under the terms of the current contract?
