Attachment 2 Exhibit Excel RTE Cereal.xlsx

This is a proposal checklist and technical specification template for the Ready to Eat (RTE) Cereal Products for Domestic Food Assistance solicitation issued by the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service. The document serves as an exhibit to guide vendors in preparing and submitting their proposals through the WBSCM (Web-Based Supply Chain Management) system.

The checklist outlines three primary proposal components that vendors must complete: Technical Information (including product specifications via the provided spreadsheet tabs, domestic origin certification, and nutritional panel information), Pricing (submitted directly into WBSCM as an offer), and Past Performance Information (submitted as Exhibit 3). The technical specification template requires vendors to provide detailed product information including brand name, case weight, truckload specifications (net and gross weights), case count, case dimensions, pallet configuration, and number of pallets per truck. Vendors must also complete a plant and contact information section identifying proposal submission contacts and all manufacturing plant locations with addresses. The template uses placeholder language ("Material 1," "Material 2," etc.) that vendors must replace with their actual commercial cereal product names. All exhibits and offers must be attached or entered into the WBSCM Response system as specified in Solicitation Section D.
