This is a Bidder Checklist form for Request for Bid #PA180734, issued by the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration on behalf of the Department of Public Instruction. The procurement seeks qualified vendors to process USDA Bulk Cheese (Natural American FDB Barrel, Material ID Code #110242) into Macaroni and Cheese with whole grain pasta for distribution to Wisconsin schools participating in the National School Lunch Program and Summer Food Service Program participants. The processed product will be evaluated based on student taste tests and offered at the lowest total price per serving. The resulting contract will supply both public and private schools across Wisconsin, as well as other eligible recipient agencies receiving USDA Foods.

The checklist serves as a compliance verification document requiring bidders to acknowledge review and understanding of all bid requirements across seven main sections, including bidder qualifications, mandatory specifications, special terms and conditions, pricing structure, bid procedures, and bid acceptance criteria. Bidders must also confirm receipt of all standard terms and conditions, RFB amendments posted to VendorNet, vendor reference documentation, and completion of required attachments including the Price Sheet, Nutrient Data Submission Form, National Processing Agreement Form, and Designation of Confidential and Proprietary Information Form.
