Attachment_6_-_Food_Safety_Information_Listing.docx

This is a Food Safety Information Listing attachment supporting a statewide cheese procurement contract issued by the State of California, Department of General Services, Procurement Division (DGS-PD). The document establishes requirements for bidders to provide detailed information about all companies involved in the cheese distribution chain, including manufacturers, warehouses, and distributors. Bidders must complete the form for every company and manufacturer in the supply process that falls under the Food Safety Program, submitting additional copies as necessary with their bid. The statewide contract will provide cheese to all State of California departments under a mandatory procurement arrangement with an initial term of two years and two optional one-year extension periods.

The Food Safety Information Listing requires bidders to document company name, address, phone number, fax number, contact name, and the job being performed on the contract for each entity in the distribution chain. For California-based companies and manufacturers, bidders must provide either a valid California Department of Public Health (CDPH) registration number with expiration date or certification that registration will be obtained within ten working days after the bid opening date. For companies located outside California, bidders must provide inspection company details and the date of the most recent inspection. Compliance requires submission of validated registration numbers or certification certificates to the contract administrator.
