Attachment_6_-_Food_Safety_Information_Listing.docx

This is a Food Safety Information Listing form for a dried legumes contract opportunity in California, primarily serving the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), Department of Veterans Affairs, and Department of State Hospitals (DSH). The form requires bidders to provide detailed information for each company involved in the distribution chain, including manufacturers, warehouses, and suppliers. For California-based companies, bidders must document valid California Department of Public Health (CDPH) registration numbers and expiration dates, or certify that registration will be obtained within 10 working days following the bid opening date. For companies located outside California, bidders must submit inspection company information including the date of last inspection. The solicitation is issued as an Invitation for Bid (IFB) with mandatory statewide contract status, requiring physical bid submissions rather than electronic submissions.

Bidders must complete a separate Food Safety Information Listing form for every company or manufacturer involved in the distribution process that is applicable to the Food Safety Program, submitting these forms with their bids. The mandatory bidder conference should be reviewed in the attached solicitation documentation for registration details and specific requirements. All CDPH registration documentation or certification certificates must be validated and provided to the contract administrator to ensure compliance with food safety regulations. This attachment serves as a critical compliance document ensuring that all entities in the supply chain meet California's food safety standards and registration requirements prior to contract award.
