Attachment_5_-_Estimated_Institution_Usage.xlsx

This is an Estimated Institution Usage attachment for a Beverage Base supply contract issued by the California Department of General Services, Procurement Division (DGS-PD) for a statewide, multi-year contract. The contract encompasses the supply of sugar-free beverage base products in two formats: individual serving packets (each making 8 oz., 2,000 packets per case) and bulk packs (each making 10 gallons, 44 bags per case), with a minimum of five assorted flavors required for each format. The estimated annual usage across two geographic areas totals 10,187 cases of individual serving beverage base and 1,598 cases of bulk pack beverage base. Area 1 includes 15 state institutions with quarterly delivery schedules, generating estimated annual demand of 4,167 cases of individual serving and 297 cases of bulk pack. Area 2 comprises 24 state institutions with a mix of quarterly and monthly delivery schedules, with estimated annual demand of 6,020 cases of individual serving and 1,301 cases of bulk pack. The contract is structured as a two-year agreement with two optional one-year extension periods, and the award will be made on an all-or-none basis, making the contract mandatory for use by all California state departments.

The usage estimates provided represent the baseline consumption across California's correctional facilities, state hospitals, developmental centers, and other state institutions, enabling potential bidders to calculate pricing and delivery logistics. The demand reflects the significant operational scale required to serve multiple high-volume state facilities throughout California. No pricing terms, set-aside provisions, incumbent information, or specific funding amounts are detailed in this usage attachment, as it functions solely to communicate anticipated consumption volumes to prospective vendors preparing bids for this statewide supply contract.
