This is a bid award summary document issued by the State of New Hampshire's Division of Procurement Support Services, Bureau of Purchase and Property, for a statewide bakery and baked goods procurement contract. The solicitation, designated RFB #2653-23 and managed by agent Jonah Rosa, sought vendors to supply a comprehensive range of bakery products including breads, rolls, English muffins, donuts, croissants, and tortilla wraps to multiple state agencies and facilities. The bid closing occurred on September 6, 2022, at 10:00 AM, with questions required by August 29, 2022. The contract term is three years with options to extend for two additional one-year terms, providing a potential maximum duration of five years. Vendors were required to establish customer accounts within three business days and deliver ordered goods within two business days to ten specified state locations, including Department of Corrections facilities, community corrections centers, and various state institutions.

The recommended award price of $120,848.15 for the complete product list represents a unit cost of $120,848.15 for one year, significantly below the established price limitation of $275,000, which reflects a 5% increase from the expiring contract based on previous purchasing patterns and forecasted demand. Eight total solicitations were received during the bidding process. The incumbent vendor, Calise & Sons Bakery, was recommended for award. Payment terms include acceptance of Procurement Card (P-card) or Automated Clearing House (ACH) payments, with a P-card increase of $140,000 approved to support contract implementation. Vendors must maintain commercial general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, be registered with the New Hampshire Bureau of Purchase and Property, and comply with all state contracting requirements.
