About this file

This document is an Attachment B - Special Conditions for Meat for RFx No. 3000024897, specifically for the July 2025 Meat & Cheese procurement by a public agency, likely related to the USDA Child Food Nutrition Program. The document outlines detailed specifications for chicken leg quarters, livers, and gizzards (RFx Line Numbers 1 and 15), with strict requirements for product quality, processing, and delivery. The chicken products must be free from disease, solidly frozen, processed according to sound operating procedures, and delivered at a maximum temperature of 10 degrees Fahrenheit.

The procurement has specific packaging and delivery requirements, including palletization on 40" x 48" non-throw-away pallets, plastic-lined boxes, and monofilament tape or plastic banding with packing dates. A notable special note emphasizes federal regulations (7 CFR Part 3016.60(C)) prohibiting unreasonably restrictive qualifications or bidding advantages for in-state or local firms, ensuring open competition for public agencies receiving USDA Child Food Nutrition Program funds. This applies to state and local government entities, including school districts and tribal governments, and aims to maintain fair and competitive procurement practices.
