Attachment 3 - Request for New Item Form-.pdf

This is a Market Fresh Item Request Form used as part of contract SPE300-26-R-X020 to collect detailed product specifications for food items being added to the contract catalog.

The form requests comprehensive information about market fresh food products, including contract number, geographic designation (CONUS or OCONUS), item name and description, vendor unit of measure, case weight, and count per case. It also requires specification of individual package type, weight, and count; product form (liquid, powder, etc.); processing method (raw, sliced, fully cooked, breaded, etc.); and storage requirements (refrigeration needs and shelf stability status). Additional required details include fat content specifications with percentage if reduced fat or lower, product grade, NAMP number if applicable, and for beverages, percent fruit juice content and yield ratios for concentrated items. The form requests sweetness classification with specification of artificial sweetener type if applicable, and identification of additional product features such as lactose-free or no-bake formulations. Submitters must clarify ambiguous descriptive terms such as "light" by specifying whether they refer to low sodium, low calorie, color, or other attributes. Supporting documentation including nutrition specifications and product labels should be attached to aid in cataloging. This template is designed for vendors and contractors to standardize product information submission to the Market Fresh Team.
